Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Lean beef stew meat
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
- 500 milliliters Low-sodium beef broth
- 100 milliliters Red wine
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 1 Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the beef, searing it on all sides until browned and then remove it from the pot.
In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth and red wine, stirring continuously until smooth.
Add the tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, and black pepper. Mix well.
Return the beef to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Transfer the beef mixture into a pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the pie dish, trimming any excess and crimping the edges to seal.
Brush the egg wash over the pastry to ensure a golden finish when baked.
Make a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy classic steak pie!
