Jamie Oliver Steak And Mushroom Pie

Jamie Oliver Steak And Mushroom Pie

Jamie Oliver Steak and Mushroom Pie is a traditional British savoury pie made with slow-cooked beef chunks and mushrooms in a thick gravy, topped or encased in pastry and baked until golden. The filling is simmered gently to develop flavour before being baked inside crisp pastry.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 800g stewing steak, cut into chunks

    • 200g chestnut mushrooms, sliced

    • 1 large onion, finely chopped

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons plain flour

    • 400ml beef stock

    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large heavy-based pot over medium heat. Add beef chunks in batches and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Onion and Mushrooms

In the same pot, add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in mushrooms and cook until lightly golden.

Step 3: Add Flour

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4: Add Stock and Seasoning

Return the beef to the pot. Pour in beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

Step 5: Simmer Gently

Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until the beef is tender and the gravy thick.

Step 6: Cool the Filling

Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely before assembling the pie.

Step 7: Assemble the Pie

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a pie dish with shortcrust pastry. Spoon in the cooled filling evenly.

Step 8: Add the Top Pastry

Cover with puff pastry. Trim edges and press to seal. Cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.

Step 9: Glaze and Bake

Brush with beaten egg and bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and crisp.

Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
