Impress guests with a decadent beef, bacon, and mushroom pie.
Ingredients:
  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 1.2kg beef chuck steak, cut into about 12cm pieces
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 125g middle bacon rashers, cut into 3cm-pieces
  • 250g small cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 500ml (2 cups) salt-reduced beef stock
  • 1 tablesoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 2 x 375g pkt all-butter puff pastry, just thawed
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Place flour in a shallow bowl, then gently coat the beef with flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook 2-3 pieces of beef, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes until they turn golden. Transfer the beef to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining oil and beef.
  • Sauté the onion, bacon, and mushroom until golden, then pour in stock, mustard, and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, add beef, cover, and bake until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • Remove the beef from the dish using a slotted spoon, shred it using two forks, and then return it to the dish to cool.
  • Prepare the baking tray by lining it with baking paper. From each pastry sheet, cut out a 26.5cm disc. Place one pastry disc on the prepared tray. Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of the pastry, leaving a 3cm border. Moisten the edge with water. From the remaining pastry disc, cut out a 4.5cm hole in the center. Use a small sharp knife to create a decorative spiral pattern on the pastry without cutting all the way through. Place the pastry over the beef and press the edges together. Use the back of a knife to create a decorative pattern around the edge of the pastry. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
