An easy Homemade Steak Pie, falling apart beef, rich gravy topped with delicious shortcrust pasty. Using your slow cooker to cook the beef
 

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker
  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 ovenproof pie dish

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 25 g Plain Flour
  • 1 Kg Braising steak cut into 3cm pieces / Or casserole beef / stewing steak
  • 2 Beef Stock cubes or stock pots
  • 1 Pt Water
  • Salt & Black pepper
  • 320 g Shortcrust Pastry chilled ready rolled
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Gravy Granules

Instructions

  • Grab a large frying pan and add your olive oil
  • Roll your beef pieces lightly in flour. In two batches, quickly flash fry for 2 -3 minutes, you are looking for colour on the beef not to cook it
  • Turn your slow cooker on and set at low
  • Add your browned beef to the slow cooker followed by your water and dissolved stock cubes, to cover the beef
  • Pop the lid on and leave to cook on low for 6-8 hours until your beef is really tender
  • Once cooked, tip out about half of your liquid into a bowl (this will be your delicious gravy) put aside
  • Next add 1-2 tablespoons gravy granules to thicken your meat mix - it will go quite thick
  • Allow to cool - you could pop this in the fridge and make the pie the next day if you want to
  • Preheat the oven 200C / 180C fan / Gas 6
  • Get yourself an oven proof baking tin / dish. You can use round or rectangle, or individual pie dishes
  • Pop the cooled beef in the bottom of your dish
  • Next unroll your pastry and lay over your dish. Or cut out hearts, stars and overlay them on the meat filling, ensuring you cover the meat totally
  • Brush with your beaten egg
  • Bake in the centre of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes - until your pastry is baked and golden brown
  • Then serve, don't forget the (put aside) meat juices to make your gravy!! Delicious
