Ingredients

  • 1 small onion finely diced

  • 250 g diced beef good quality stewing steak

  • 1 tbsp Flour

  • 500 ml Beef stock 2 beef stock cubes in 500ml of boiling water

  • salt and black pepper

  • 375 g Puff pastry either a block or ready rolled

  • 1 Egg beaten with a dash of milk

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6
  • Dice the beef fairly small
  • Slice the onion just as fine as you can
  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a deep frying pan and add the onion
  • Sweat the onions off until translucent then add the diced beef
  • Fry the beef until well browned all over.
  • Add the flour and thoroughly coat the beef and onion, allow to cook out for a minute or two, while continuing to stir
  • Make up the beef stock and add the to meat, stir well and bring to the boil
  • Turn the heat down and allow the mixture to simmer until it has reduced and thickened then leave to cool completely
  • While waiting for the meat to cool, roll out the pastry to on a floured surface to about the thickness of a pound coin, or if using ready rolled just unroll the pastry on a floured surface to roughly 16″ x 9″
  • Cut the puff pastry into 4 rectangles, 4″wide and 4½” long, therefore if you have rolled the pastry out to the correct dimensions you should get 4 lengths across and cut those lengths in half to produce the 8 rectangles
  • Pile the pastry up into a couple of piles and place in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes, by which time the meat should be nice and cold also
  • Make up the egg wash by beating the egg with a splash of milk
  • Brush the edges of one rectangle with egg wash, then spoon your beef filling into the middle. About 1-1½ tablespoons, don’t overfill otherwise the filling will spill out of the pastry when baked
  • Top with the other rectangle of pastry, press the edges down and seal the pastry by pressing a fork around the edges
  • Brush the pastry with egg and score six diagonal lines on the top of the pastry.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the bake evenly
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 20mins until golden brown, and piping hot.
  • Check after 15 mins just to make sure they are baking evenly and not too quickly
  • If necessary turn the baking tray around to get an even bake
  • You’ll never have to buy a Greggs Steak Bake again.
