A proper good winter warmer. Takes a while to make, but so worth it!
Ingredients (serves 2):
* 250g diced beef
* 1 white onion
* 1 carrot
* 6 mushrooms
* 1 clove of garlic
* 1 tbsp parsley
* 1 tbsp thyme
* couple of bay leaves
* 250ml beef stock
* 250ml ale
* 1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
* 220g butter beans
* 400g short crust pastry
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180c. Pop the beef into a pan and fry until the outside is browned. Place this in a casserole pot to the side and then fry the onions, garlic and carrot. After 3-4 minutes add the mushrooms to the mixture and fry for a further couple of minutes. Pop these in the casserole dish and add some beef stock, ale, flour and herbs before placing in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins.
After 1 hr 30 mins, drain the butterbeans and add the to the mixture. Place in the oven for a further 15 minutes. While this bubbles away in the oven, prepare the pastry. Roll this out and get it ready to top your pie! Once the pie mixture is cooked, place it in a pie dish and leave to cool for 15-20 minutes (until it stops steaming!!). Beat an egg and eggwash the edges of the dish before you add the pastry top and trim down to size. Eggwash the top of the pastry, add some cuts and any pastry decorations you wish! Bake for 30 minutes and enjoy!
