- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 sheet of pre-made puff pastry
Instructions
To make this dish, begin by heating a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add the beef steak and kidney and cook for another 5 minutes, until the meat is browned.
Next, add the flour and tomato paste, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute, then add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be thick and rich.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter. Pour the filling into the dish, and top with the puff pastry. Crimp the edges of the pastry to seal, and make a few slits in the top to allow the steam to escape. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
