Ingredients
Scale
- 415 g (14.6 oz) steak, cut into small pieces
- 180 g (6.3 oz) smoked lardons
- 180 g (6.3 oz) white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 mild onions, diced
- 375 g (13.2 oz) ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
- 250 ml (8.4 fl oz) beef stock (from a cube)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps plain flour
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Searing Stage: Ignite a large skillet over medium-high heat, introducing vegetable oil. Caramelize steak and lardons until they develop a rich, mahogany-toned exterior, extracting maximum flavor. Extract the meat and reserve momentarily.
- Vegetable Transformation: Utilize the identical skillet featuring residual meat essence to sauté mushrooms and onions. Allow ingredients to release moisture and transform into a golden landscape, approximately 8-10 minutes. Reintroduce the previously seared meat into the pan.
- Sauce Creation: Dust flour over the meat and vegetables, ensuring comprehensive coating. Gradually cascade beef stock while stirring, constructing a luxurious, silky sauce without unwanted lumps.
- Flavor Infusion: Reduce heat, permitting the mixture to gently simmer for approximately 80 minutes. This extended cooking duration allows flavors to intertwine and sauce to thicken, stirring periodically to prevent adhering.
- Pastry Preparation: Elevate oven temperature to 375°F. Migrate the robust meat mixture into a pie dish, distributing evenly. Delicately drape shortcrust pastry across the filling, trimming periphery and sealing edges. Brush pastry surface with beaten egg and create a discreet steam vent.
- Baking Finale: Position pie in preheated oven, baking 22-27 minutes until pastry achieves a luminous golden-brown complexion. Rest pie for 10 minutes, allowing filling to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose high-quality, well-marbled steak like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness in your pie.
- Searing Secrets: Ensure your skillet is scorching hot when searing meat to develop a rich, caramelized exterior that locks in deep, complex flavors.
- Thickening Technique: Gradually add flour and stock while stirring constantly to prevent lumps and create a silky, smooth sauce that coats the meat perfectly.
- Pastry Perfection: Brush egg wash generously over the pastry and create a small steam vent to achieve a gorgeously golden, crisp, and flaky crust that will impress everyone at the table.
