Steak Pie

01Method

1. 1

   Prepare all ingredients before starting.

2. 2

   Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat thoroughly, then add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Mix in the mushroom gravy powder and water. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer until the beef is tender, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Spoon the beef filling into a casserole dish. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

5. 5

   Flatten the puff pastry sheet to fit over the casserole dish and press the edges firmly against the rim to seal. Beat the egg with the tablespoon of water and brush the mixture over the pastry surface.

6. 6

   Bake in the heated oven until the pastry has puffed up and turned golden brown, about 20 minutes.
