Ingredients
- For the Pie Crust:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup butter, chopped into pieces
- ¼ cup ice water
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 4 ounces mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 14-ounce can of beef broth
- 1½ cups frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust: In a food processor, pulse flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Slowly add ice water until dough forms. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and brown the beef. Remove and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Cook for 5 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook until tender. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds.
- Deglaze pot with ½ cup of beef broth and simmer for 2 minutes. In a bowl, whisk remaining broth with cornstarch and add to pot along with Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Return beef to pot and season to taste.
- Cover and bake for 1½ hours or until beef is tender. Remove from oven and stir in peas. Let cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out one disk of dough and place it in a greased pie dish. Add the cooled beef filling. Roll out the second dough disk and place over the filling. Trim and crimp edges. Cut small slits in top crust.
- Whisk the egg and brush over the top crust. Bake at 350ºF for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought crust for convenience.
- Optional add-ins include chopped tomatoes or bay leaves for more flavor.
- The filling can also be fully cooked on the stovetop if preferred.
- For varied texture, shred some of the beef before adding peas.
