Description
A hearty and flavorful Steak and Onion Pie, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 package (14 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the beef mixture and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the beef and onion mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of red wine to the beef mixture while it simmers.
- You can substitute the beef with diced chicken or mushrooms for a different twist on this classic pie.
