## Ingredients

- 800 g shortcrust pastry
- 0 plain flour
- 1 free-range egg
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 900 g lean stewing steak pieces
- 2 onions
- 2 celery sticks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 fresh thyme sprig
- 2 bay leaves
- 300 ml beef stock
- 400 ml stout
- 2 carrots
- 0 salt

- 1.2 kg Maris Piper Potatoes
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 100 ml milk
- 50 g butter
- 50 g flour
- 150 ml red wine
- 350 ml beef stock

## Instructions

1. Heat oil in an ovenproof casserole dish. Brown the seasoned beef in batches, then set aside.
2. Reduce heat, cook onions, celery and garlic until softened around 8-10 mins.
3. Return beef to the pan, add thyme, bay leaves and stock. Add stout and carrots, bring to a boil, then cook in the oven until beef is tender, about 2–2½ hours at 150C.
4. Adjust seasoning and cool.
5. Prepare pastry base: line the pie dish with shortcrust pastry, blind bake with baking beans for 15 mins at 200C, then remove and bake a few more minutes.
6. Once cooled carefully tidy up the edges with a sharp knife.
7. For the mash, peal and chop your potatoes into medium chunks, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, then mash or put through a potato ricer.
8. Melt butter in a pan with milk and add to the mash. Then season to taste.
9. Transfer filling to pastry-lined dish.
10. Preheat the oven to 200C. Brush beaten egg around pastry edge, place pastry lid on top, seal, trim, crimp edges with a fork, and create steam vents.
11. With any leftover pastry finish your pie with something decorative. Brush the top with remaining egg wash.
12. Bake the pie for 30–35 minutes until golden and crisp.
13. For the gravy, melt butter in a pan and add flour, cook for 2 minutes remembering to keep stirring then add red wine (this will thicken a lot) then whisk in stock.
14. Season to taste.
15. Serve the pie on top of the mash and pour over your gravy.
