Steak and cheese pie

Ingredients

Method

Ingredients

  • Pams olive oil 
  • 1kg casserole steak, rump steak or stewing steak, diced
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 tsp Pams crushed garlic 
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 3 Tbsp Pams tomato paste 
  • ⅓ cup Pams plain flour 
  • 650ml beef stock
  • 2 sheets Pams reduced-fat flaky puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 small egg, beaten 
  • ¾ cup Pams grated cheese of your choice 

Method

 

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees celsius fan bake. Place an ovenproof pan or casserole dish over medium to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. In two batches, brown the diced steak for 1-2 minutes on each side, then transfer to a bowl and set aside. 
  2. Lower the dish to medium heat, and add the onion, garlic and carrot. Cook while stirring for 4-5 minutes or until the onion has become translucent. Stir in the tomato paste followed by the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the beef stock, and stir to combine. Season well with salt and pepper, return the steak to the pan, then cover and place into the oven. Cook for 3 hours or until the steak is tender. 
  3. To make the pastry twists, lay one pastry sheet down onto a lightly floured surface. In a bowl, stir together the beaten egg and grated cheese, then spread over the pastry sheet; allowing a 1cm border. Lay the second pastry sheet on top, then press the edges to seal. 
  4. Use a rolling pin to lightly press roll the pastry. Chill for 20 minutes, then cut into 1-2cm strips. Form each twist into a spiral, then lay onto a tray and chill until required.
  5. Once the beef is tender, increase the heat to 200 degrees celsius. Transfer the filling to a pie dish if necessary, then lay the pastry twists on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Serve and enjoy.
