How to Make British Steak And Ale Pie
- Season 1 lb of beef stew meat generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the beef and vegetables to a large oven-safe dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Pour in 1 cup of beef stock, 1 cup of dark ale (Guinness recommended), 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a bay leaf.
- Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender and the sauce has thickened.
- While the beef simmers, prepare your puff pastry. Roll out 1 sheet (14.1 oz) of ready-made puff pastry to a size slightly larger than your baking dish.
- Carefully place the puff pastry over the beef mixture, crimping the edges to seal. Brush the top with 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, carrots, mushy peas, and gravy.
