A hearty and satisfying Irish Steak Pie filled with tender beef and vegetables, all wrapped in a flaky puff pastry.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium. Sauté onion, carrots, and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add beef chunks and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 1 hour until beef is tender and sauce thickens.
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and line a pie dish with half of it.
Pour the beef mixture into the dish, spreading evenly.
Cover with the other half of puff pastry, sealing edges with a fork.
Cut slits in the top for steam to escape and brush with beaten egg.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Serve hot, ideally with creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh salad on the side.

Brown the meat well for depth of flavor. Keep the pastry cold for a flaky crust. Experiment with herbs for different flavors.
