home-made pie the cheat’s way…

using a large pot, fry 2 large chopped onions in butter until golden brown. remove and set aside. cube 900g of rump steak and in the same pot, brown the steak cubes in batches. return the onions to the pot and stir through roughly 2 cups of diced vegetables, i use a mixture of carrots, butternut and sweet potatoes. reduce heat, cover and allow to cook gently for 20 minutes. stir through 400ml of ready-made gravy. check seasoning and add if needed. set aside and allow to cool.

using ready-made puff pastry, line a pie dish, fill with the meat mixture, close the pie with a layer of puff pastry and paint with egg or milk. bake at 180º for 30 minutes or until the pastry is cooked and golden brown. delicious…
