- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 140 min
- Makes: 1 serving (380 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: beef, celery, dairy, fish, gluten
Ingredients
- 160 g Beef chuck, raw
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 100 g Beef broth
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 60 g Puff pastry
- 0.5 g Black pepper
- 0.4 g Salt
- 3 g Worcestershire sauce
Method
- Cut the beef chuck into bite-sized chunks and toss with the flour to coat lightly.
- Heat the oil in a heavy pot and brown the beef in batches, then set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the same pot and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then return the beef to the pot.
- Pour in the beef broth and the Worcestershire sauce, season generously with the black pepper and lightly with the salt, bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat (or in a 150 °C/300 °F oven) for 2-2.5 hours until the beef is completely tender and the gravy has thickened.
- Spoon the beef and gravy into a small pie dish, letting it cool slightly.
- Roll the puff pastry a little larger than the dish, lay it over the top, trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut a small steam vent in the centre.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is well risen and deep golden.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving, traditionally on New Year's Day.
