Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté 1 medium finely chopped onion for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 500g diced beef chuck and sear for 6-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Stir in 150g quartered button mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring well to coat and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Gradually pour in 1 cup beef broth (240ml) while stirring, then add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and beef is tender.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the beef mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Cover with 2 thawed puff pastry sheets, trimming edges and pressing to seal. Brush the top with 1 beaten large egg.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
