Ingredients

2 pounds of beef chuck, cubed
2 lamb kidneys, cubed
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 cup of beef broth
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of butter
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and lamb kidneys and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

Add the onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pot and cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Return the meat to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.

Step 4

Once the meat is cooked, stir in the flour, butter, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the steak and kidney mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Top with the puff pastry and crimp the edges. Cut several slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 6

Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
