TENDER BEEF PIE
This is not really a pie in the traditional sense of the term as it is only topped with pastry rather than being encased in it. We have been trying to watch our carbs but my hubby loves his meat pie so this way he can enjoy it without total guilt. Both my hubby and my son love this one and feel free to make it as a pie if you want. You will have to cook the pastry shell off first though as it is not cooked long in the oven, as I cook the meat on the stove to make it tender.

Steps:
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over a medium heat, add onion and mushrooms cook until soft and mushrooms slightly browned, set to one side.
- In the same pan add a little extra oil, add beef, cook turning meat to brown beef, return onion and mushroom mix.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for egg and puff pastry, stir to combine everything, turn heat down, simmer covered for about 35-45 Min's, stirring occasionally to tenderize meat. While meat is cooking pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Roll out pastry sheet, I make mine in 2 individual pie dishes but you can make yours in one if you wish. I do usually have left over pastry which I make either a fruit or jam tart out of.
- Divide meat mix between 2 oven proof dishes, place pastry over the top, trim edges and brush with egg.
- Place pies in oven and bake for approx 20 Min's until pastry top is browned.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are good choices for a tender beef pie. These cuts are well-marbled with fat, which will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the stew pot will help to develop flavor and create a rich, brown gravy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your beef pie, the more flavorful it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook the beef until it is tender, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Make a flavorful gravy: The gravy is an important part of any beef pie. Be sure to make a flavorful gravy by using a good quality beef broth and adding some herbs and spices.
- Top the pie with a flaky crust: A flaky crust is the perfect way to finish off a beef pie. You can make your own crust or use a store-bought one.
Conclusion:
Beef pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. With a few simple tips, you can make a beef pie that is both tender and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give beef pie a try.
