Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs beef steak, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the diced steak and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in the onions, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables are softened.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables and stir to coat.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

  8. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and make a few slits on the top for steam to escape.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  1. Avoid overcooking the steak, as it can become tough and chewy.
  2. Be careful not to burn the onions and garlic, as they can turn bitter.
  3. Don’t skip the step of letting the filling cool slightly before adding the pastry, as this can lead to a soggy crust.
  4. Make sure to properly seal the edges of the pastry to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  5. Be mindful of the amount of salt added, as the beef broth can already be salty.
