Gordon Ramsay’s Scrumptious Steak Pie

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, removing them from the pot once browned. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In the same pot, add chopped onion and diced carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
   • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Return the beef to the pot.
   • Pour in red wine, beef stock, and add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir in frozen peas and season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut to fit your pie dish or individual pie dishes.
   • Spoon the beef mixture into the pie dish(es). Cover with puff pastry, trimming excess and sealing edges. Brush with beaten egg.
4. Bake:
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve:
   • Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
