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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
