Philly Cheesesteak Pot Pie Recipe Dinner Then Dessert

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat half of the oil in a flameproof casserole dish, add the onions and cook for 30 mins until soft and golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Put the rest of the oil in the pan, set over a high heat and brown the beef very well all over (you'll need to do this in batches). Transfer to a plate and wipe the pan clean. Return the beef and onions to the pan with the ale and 200ml water. Bring to a simmer, then crumble in the stock cube and season. Bring to the boil, cover and transfer to the oven for 2 hrs, or until the beef is tender.
• Remove from the oven and use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate. Put the dish on the hob and simmer the onions and stock until reduced, then return the beef to the pan and shred it through the sauce. Stir through the peppers, jalapeños and mustard, season, then leave to cool. Stir in the cheddar, then assemble the pies with the pastry as directed in Tom's pie pastry recipe. Leave to rest for 10 mins before eating.

Steps:

• For the cheesesteak filling: Saute the onions and peppers in the oil until translucent, and then remove from the pan. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until well browned. Return the peppers and onions to the pan along with the beef. Cook the beef, chopping up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through. Season with salt, remove from the heat and spread out on a baking sheet to chill.
• For the cheesesteak sauce: Combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cheeses until thoroughly melted and well mixed. Set aside until ready to use.
• For serving: For each serving, heat 8 ounces of the steak and vegetable mixture in a saute pan. Add 4 to 5 ounces of the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through very well and the sauce has started to reduce. Once hot, pour into bowls and top with the rounds of baked puff pastry.
