Beefsteak Pie Recipe - Cooking Index
Kitchen | ||
2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Stewing beef |
2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Onions - chopped fine (large) |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Brown sugar |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Corn oil |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Pepper |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt - (optional) |
1/2 lb | 227g / 8oz | Carrots - chopped |
OR stock to cover |
Cut the meat into 1/2 in. cubes. Brown in hot oil both sides. Then add the onions and sugar. Cook until the onions are brown and tender. Then barely cover the meat with water or stock; add the spices. Add carrots and simmer until tender (about 2 hours).
For added flavor; I have added 1/3 cup of red wine.
THE CRUST: Boil 5 or 6 large potatoes until tender, then strain and return to the pan. Mash over a gentle heat with a generous tbs of margarine or chicken fat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Nondairy, kosher for Passover, creamer can be added for creaminess.
Remove from heat and add 2 well-beaten eggs and a tea. of chopped parsley. Use this mixture to line the bottom and sides of a deep casserole, previously well-greased.
Pour in the hot stew and smooth the remaining potato mixture on the top. Brush with a little egg. Put in quick oven, 400F for 15-20 minutes or until a rich brown.
