Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 150C. Put the beef in a bowl, sprinkle on the flour and season. Toss together to coat. Set aside.
Step 2
Cook the onion in 1 tbs of the oil in a large frying pan until soft. Transfer to a casserole dish and keep warm. Heat half the remaining oil and cook half the beef over a high heat until just browned on all sides. Add to the onion. Repeat with the rest of the beef and oil. Sprinkle on any remaining flour.
Step 3
Add the stock cube and 120ml water and heat until simmering. Pour over the meat, cover and bake for 2 hrs 30 mins until the beef is tender.
Step 4
Transfer to a pie dish and leave until cold. If you put a stainless steel egg cup in the middle, it will help to keep the pastry from sinking into the gravy.
Step 5
Roll out the pastry to about 1/2cm larger than the pie dish. Cut a 1cm wide strip from the leftover pastry. Dampen the rim of the dish and lay the strip all around it. Brush with egg, lay the pastry lid on top and press the edges together. Brush egg all over the pastry lid and make a hole in the middle.
Step 6
Bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve with mashed potato and green veg.
