Ingredients
- 1½ pounds Australian beef stew meat, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 pound mushrooms, cut into pieces
- ¾ cup red wine
- ¾ cup beef stock
- Sheets of prepared pastry, as needed
- Egg wash or milk to brush on pastry
Method
1. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a hot frying pan and brown the cubed beef in small batches. Season with salt and pepper while browning. Place the browned beef in a separate bowl.
2. In another hot pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add mushrooms and sauté for 1-2 minutes more.
3. Add the browned beef to the pan and stir together. Deglaze the pan with red wine and beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan for flavour. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
4. Cut out the pastry to cover the ramekin(s), leaving extra for shaping. Make 3-4 slits in the centre to release steam.
5. Ladle the mixture into the ramekins, cover with pastry, and shape the edges. Brush with egg wash or milk. Bake at 425°F for about 12 minutes to brown the pastry.
