Ingredients
  

  • 250 g puff pastry rolled
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 600 g beef short ribs or other cuts
  • 800 ml beef stock
  • 125 ml red wine or porter
  • 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 300 g puff pastry
  • 1 egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Roll the pastry if needed and transfer in the fridge covered until required.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. add the beef pieces and sear for 2 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook for a further 3 minutes or until lightly coloured.
  • Add the stock, red wine and mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 1.30 hours or until cooked through.
  • Using 2 forks, pull the meat to create a pulled beef texture.
  • Check the seasoning and add extra herbs if needed. Sert aside to cool.
  • Once cool enough, take the puff pastry out from the fridge and draw 2 circles depending on serving preference. For individual portions, draw 1 smaller 6cm diameter and an top circle of 8 cm or so. The top circle needs to be wider to allow the filing to be covered. For a pie to share ensure the top circle is widder than the base and that it will fit your baking tray.
  • Place the smaller circles on the baking tray and brush with egg wash. Spoon enough of the beef mixture on the pastry and cover with the second larger pastry circle.
  • Decorate slightly the top and brush again with egg wash. Create a small opening or chimney to allow excess steam to escape and allow the pastry to bake well.
  • Remove excess pastry on the edges too if needed.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes depending on size until ready to serve.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with some salad leaves.
