Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef stew meat
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups beef bone broth (or beef stock)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Toss the beef stew meat with 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes, then pour in the beef bone broth and coconut aminos. Add the thyme leaves, bay leaf, and the seared beef back into the skillet. Simmer for 20 minutes.
While the filling simmers, make the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the ghee and cut it into the flour using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk the egg and cold water together, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf from the filling and transfer the mixture to an oven-safe pie dish.
Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to fit the size of the pie dish. Lay it over the filling, trimming any excess and crimping the edges to seal.
Prick the crust a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, Whole30-friendly steak pie!
