Ingredients

To make this delicious individual steak and ale pie you will need: 500g of leftover steak, diced; 1 onion, finely chopped; 1 tablespoon of plain flour; 250ml of ale; 500ml of beef stock; 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce; 2 tablespoons of tomato purée; 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley; 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil; 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry; 1 egg, beaten.

Instructions

To make this individual steak and ale pie, start by heating the vegetable oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it is softened, then add the diced steak and cook until it is browned. Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine, then pour in the ale, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato purée, and parsley. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the steak is tender.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the steak mixture between four individual pie dishes and top each one with a sheet of pastry. Make sure the pastry is big enough to cover the pie dishes and press down the edges to seal. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and bake for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown and the steak is cooked through. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favourite vegetables.
