Beef And Onion Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Beef Filling:.
• Peel and roughly chop the onions, carrots and celery.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalks and finely chop.
• Put a large pan over high heat and add about 2 T. olive oil, all the chopped veggies, rosemary and bay leaves. Stir every minute for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and lightly colored.
• Stir in the ground beef and break up any large pieces.
• Add the mustard, Marmite, Worcestershire sauce and 2 t. of flour.
• Add the beef broth and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down, put a lid on, and simmer for about an hour. Make sure you stir it every so often. If at the end of the cook time the mixture is too soupy you can either thicken it with a little Wondra or flour or simply use a slotted spoon to get the meat mixture out without any excess liquid.
• Pie:.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator 10 minues before you need to roll it.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fill a large baking dish with the beef filling and let it cool. (OR if you prefer to have a 2 crust pie, then first layer the baking dish with 1 pie pastry before adding the beef filling.).
• Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with some flour and lay the pie dough one on top of the other. Fold in half and roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Once it's large enough to cover the top of your serving dish, wind the pastry around your rolling pin and unroll it over the dish. Just patch up any rips or tears. Run a knife around the edge of the dish to trim off any extra dough. (OR don't put them together and use one for the bottom of your pie and the other for the top.).
• Using a fork, press down all around the edge of the dough to crimp it closed.
• Make a hole in the middle of the dough, using the tip of a knife.
• Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg (or milk).
• Bake on the bottom rack of your preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the beef mince for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns.
• Add the onion,leeks,carrot's, and cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the tomato Puree, and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for a further minute, then add the chopped mushrooms, the stout or beef stock and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside and leave to cool, then turn the meat mixture into a one litre pie dish.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface until it is slightly larger than the pie dish. Gently drape the pastry over the dish, pressing firmly onto the edges. Trim, then shape the edges into a fluted shape.
• Cut some leaf shapes out of the pastry trimmings and decorate the top of the pie, sticking them to the pastry with the beaten egg yolk.
• Make three or four slits in the pastry to allow the steam to escape, then brush the pie with the rest of the beaten egg yolk and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden-brown.
