Equipment
- Large Skillet
- large bowl
- 10 oz ramekins, or a pie dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak cubed
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cracked pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 8 oz baby belly mushrooms sliced
- 4 cups stout beer
- 1 tsp fresh thyme minced
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional - to thicken)
Instructions
Filling
- Cut steak into bite-sized cubes.
- In a bowl, add cubed steak with flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the oil and sear the beef on all sides until brown and crisp.
- Set meat aside.
- In the same pan, add onion and garlic.
- Cook until translucent, then set aside with the meat.
- Pour in about 1 cup beer into the empty pan to deglaze and remove any of the browned bits (this will add flavor to the filling!)
- Heat a large stockpot, over medium heat.
- Add a dash more of oil
- Add meat, mushrooms, onions, garlic, celery, and carrots.
- Pour in your beer from the other pan, then the rest of the beer into your stock pot.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add in seasonings.
- Reduce heat to low and cover for about an hour and a half, stirring occasionally.
- Once it is done, you can spoon out about a cup of the broth into a bowl and whisk in cornstarch to create a slurry.
- Pour it back into the filling and bring back to medium heat. This will yield a thicker consistency.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Pour filling into ramekin or pie dish.
- Roll out pastry and cut into circles to cover the tops of your bowls.
- Cover with pastry.
Egg Wash
- Crack an egg into a bowl and beat it thoroughly with a fork.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and a pink of salt. Stir until combined.
- Brush dough with egg wash.
Bake
- Either bake right on top of your bowls filled with the filling, or on a parchment paper to bake separately for 15 minutes or until gold brown.
- Serve hot!
