How to Make Tender Beef Pie

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened and mushrooms are lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1.5 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes. Brown the beef on all sides. Return the onion and mushroom mixture to the skillet.
  3. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender.
  4. While the beef simmers, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 sheet (14.1 ounces) of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness. You can either use this to top one large pie or cut it to fit two smaller oven-safe dishes.
  6. Divide the beef mixture evenly between your prepared pie dish(es).
  7. Top with the puff pastry, trimming and crimping the edges to seal. Brush the pastry with 1 egg, beaten.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
