Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the crust in a pie plate and prick the bottom with a fork.
Cover lightly with a sheet of foil, pressing it gently into the crust and making sure the edges are covered.
Place weights (metal pie weights or dried beans) on the foil to weigh down the bottom and hold up the sides of the crust.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil.
Continue baking until the crust is firm and has lost its sheen but is not browned, about 5 more minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the brown sugar and flour and mix until thoroughly blended.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the crust.
Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Remove from the heat and place on a rack to cool.
Serve warm.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for grass-fed beef or venison for a leaner, healthier option.
Brown the meat and vegetables thoroughly: This step helps to develop flavor and color. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the meat and vegetables will stew instead of browning.
Use a good quality red wine: The wine should be full-bodied and flavorful. Avoid using a cooking wine, as these are often low-quality and can impart a bitter flavor to the dish.
Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat will become.
Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice: These are all classic accompaniments to beef stew. You can also serve the stew over a bed of greens for a healthier option.

Conclusion:

Thoroughbred pie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. You can easily adjust the ingredients to make this Worcestershire sauce or stout. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and comforting meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give thoroughbred pie a try.
