Simple Steak Sharing Pie

  • 900g cubed beef steak
  • Seasoned flour, for dusting
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sliced onions
  • 1 tbsp each of chopped parsley and thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • 570ml beef stock
  • 225g read-rolled shortcrust pastry
  • 1 beaten egg
  • Dust the steak cubes in seasoned flour, then fry in some oil until browned all over. Add the onions, herbs, seasoning, and stock, and bring to a gentle simmer for an hour and a half. Preheat the oven to 190C.
  • Transfer the filling mix to an ovenproof dish. Line the dish’s rim with a thin strip of pastry, and brush it with beaten egg. Cut a large piece of pastry to cover the top of the dish, press the edges to seal, and trim. Make a steam hole in the centre, then brush all over with beaten egg. Cook for an hour in the oven, then serve with your choice of vegetables.
