How to Make Beef And Onion Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown the beef over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add onions to the skillet and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and salt and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until beef is tender.
- If desired, thicken the sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour (or cornstarch) to create a slurry. Add to the simmering beef mixture and stir continuously until thickened.
- If using a two-crust pie, place the bottom crust in the skillet or a pie dish. Pour the beef and onion mixture into the crust.
- If using a single crust, simply pour the beef and onion mixture into a baking dish.
- If using a top crust, cover the pie with the second crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
