Method

To Make the Filling
1

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

2

Place a large cast iron casserole dish on a medium/high heat. Add the olive oil to the casserole dish.

3

Toss the beef in the flour and seasoning.

4

Cook the beef in batches until browned and set aside.

5

Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.

6

Then add the mushrooms and sauté for another couple of minutes.

7

Return the beef to the dish, along with the Restore Beef Bone Broth, red wine, bay leaf and thyme leaves.

8

Bring up to a simmer, then cover and place into the preheated oven and cook for 2 hours until the beef is meltingly tender.

9

Combine the cornflour with 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl.

10

Remove the beef from the oven and add the cornflour mixture, stirring on a low heat until the mixture has thickened.

11

Place the pie filling in the fridge to cool completely.

To Make the Pastry
1

Heat the oven to 200°C.

2

Place the flour into a food processor along with the butter and salt.

3

Pulse until the butter is incorporated.

4

Add the water, little by little, until the pastry begins to clump together.

5

Turn the pastry out onto a floured surface and bring together, kneading with your hands.

6

Form a ball and place into the fridge to rest for at least 15 minutes.

To Assemble the Pie
1

Grease a 22cm pie dish with butter.

2

Cut the pastry in half and roll out one half to line the bottom of the pie dish.

3

Spoon in the beef mixture.

4

Roll out the other half of the pastry.

5

Brush the edge with egg and place the second round of pastry on the top of the pie, sealing around the edges by pinching the pastry together.

6

Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and prick with a knife to enable the steam to escape.

7

Place the pie into the oven and bake for 30 - 45 minutes until the pastry is golden and the pie is heated through.
