Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef stew meat or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 sheets puff pastry or pie crust (enough to cover top and bottom)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the beef cubes in batches and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, letting them release their moisture and become tender.
  3. Make the Gravy:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
    • Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
    • Add the tomato paste, red wine (if using), thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir to mix well.
    • Return the browned beef to the pot, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens.
  4. Assemble the Pie:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry or pie crust and line the bottom of a pie dish, trimming any excess dough.
    • Pour the beef and mushroom mixture into the prepared crust, ensuring it’s evenly spread out.
    • Roll out the second sheet of pastry and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by pinching the top and bottom crusts together. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bake the Pie:
    • Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, a side salad, or steamed vegetables.
  7. Enjoy!
    • Savor the comforting flavors of this Beef and Mushroom Pie, perfect for family dinners or a cozy evening.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, use beef stock instead of broth and add a splash more red wine.
  • If you want to make this ahead of time, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble the pie when ready to bake.
  • You can also use store-bought pie crusts for convenience.
