Indulge in a gourmet twist on the classic French dish with our Bourguignon Pie recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 36.80 gm sunflower oil
  • 800g topside beef, trimmed, cut into 2-3cm pieces
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml chopped rosemary leaves
  • 4 slices flat pancetta, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 250g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 44.40 gm tomato paste
  • 250ml red wine
  • 250ml beef consomme
  • 2 fresh bay leaves (see note)
  • 1kg desiree potatoes, chopped
  • 30g unsalted butter, melted
  • 125ml cream
  • Finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • In a flameproof casserole, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches for 3-4 minutes each. Set the browned beef aside.
  • Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil into the pan. Add onion, rosemary, pancetta, and garlic; cook until the onion softens. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Mix in tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute. Add the beef back to the pan along with wine, consommé, and bay leaves. Season, bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour until the meat is tender. Uncover, return to the oven for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Transfer the beef mixture to a 1.5L (6 cup) baking dish and let it cool.
  • While waiting, gently cook the potato in a saucepan of cold, salted water until tender (12-15 minutes). Drain and use a ricer or mash to achieve a smooth texture. Combine with butter and cream, season to taste.
  • Heat up the grill to a delicious medium-high temperature.
  • Spread the creamy mashed potatoes over the savory meat, gently create a decorative pattern with a fork, then grill until beautifully golden. Finish by adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
