Meat And Mushroom Pub Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Place the beef stew meat, onion, and ale in a large saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season the beef with garlic, thyme, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix in the potatoes and mushrooms. Cover and simmer over medium heat until potatoes are just tender enough to pierce with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk a small amount of the sauce together with the flour in a small bowl, and stir into the beef. Simmer until slightly thickened.
• Fit one pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Spoon the hot beef mixture into the crust and top with the remaining pie crust. Cut slits in the top crust to vent steam and crimp the edges to seal them together.
• Bake in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and gravy is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Add the onions and cook over low heat until they are tender. Add veal stock, red wine, roasted garlic, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Turn up the heat and whisk until you reach a slow boil and all the lumps are gone. Add the mushrooms, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Heat a skillet, and then add the olive oil. Add the beef and cook until medium rare. Transfer the beef to a baking dish and cover with the mushroom gravy. Cover with the puff pastry sheets and bake until the pastry is golden brown.

Steps:

• Saute ground beef with diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Do not drain meat, onions or mushrooms. Add the garlic powder to the undiluted cream of mushroom soup and stir well. Add soup mixture to the meat, mushrooms, and onions in pan, and add the chopped red peppers, stirring until thoroughly mixed--juices will hold it together.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Into individual crocks or bowls, spread the frozen green beans on bottom of each crock (green peas may be substituted). Fill crocks with meat mixture. Top each crock with 1 cup of mashed potatoes, in a big dollop or piped through a pastry bag to make them more elegant. Bake until potatoes are crisp and slightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to 6-inch square. Using a sharp knife, cut into twelve 1/2-inch strips.
• In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef, mushrooms, and onion until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle mixture with thyme and flour. Add beef broth and steak sauce; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in peas. Spoon mixture into individual casserole dishes about 5 inches in diameter.
• Arrange two pastry strips in a wide X over each casserole. Place a third strip across the center. Press overhangs firmly to sides of casseroles to seal.
• Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Also need 10 straight sided, deep individual foil pans.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a skillet cook onion in the butter until browned.
• Mix in garlic and brandy and continue cooking until most of the liquid has cooked away.
• Using the fine blade of a food processor grind pork well-you should end up with 4 cups.
• Add the onion mixture along with the eggs, parsley, salt, thyme, allspice and pepper; combine well.
• Pastry: In a large bowl combine flour and salt.
• Cut in butter and lard, continuing until mixture is crumbly and forms coarse crumbs.
• Beat egg in a measuring cup, mix in cold water to make 2/3 cup.
• Add egg mixture to flour mixture 2 tbsp at a time and mix with a fork.
• Using your hands form into 2 balls, 1 large and 1 small (2 to 1 ratio) On a floured board roll out the larger ball of pastry to around 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut into 5 inch circles and press them into the foil baking pans-the pans should be around 3 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches deep-Divide pork into the 10 lined pans.
• Roll out remaining pastry and cut it into 3&1/2 inch circles, making a small hole in the center of each for venting.
• Cover pork filling with top crusts, moistening edges and pressing them to seal.
• Brush top with egg.
• Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake until well browned-around 1 1/2 hours.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving or cool completely and freeze.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and brown the beef stew meat on all sides, about 10 minutes; set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the bacon just until it begins to brown; stir in the onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and sugar. Cook the vegetables until soft and browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Stir in the flour until smoothly incorporated, and gradually mix in the Irish stout beer and beef stock. Mix in the thyme, bay leaves, and the reserved cooked beef. Cover, and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Remove the cover, turn the heat up to medium, and let the stew boil until slightly thickened, about 15 more minutes. Mix cornstarch with water, and stir into the stew; let simmer for 30 more minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the filling into a 9-inch pie dish; trim the puff pastry into a 10-inch circle, and place on top of the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork, sealing it to the dish; cut 2 steam vents into the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
