Chunky Beef Pie
Method:
Chunky Beef Pie
  1. HEAT the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3 minutes or until softened and juices have evaporated. Add the beef to the pan and cook until browned
  2. STIR in the flour and cook for a minute before adding the water, wine, tomato sauce, VEGEMITE and thyme. Cover and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Cool
  3. COMBINE the flour, butter and PHILLY in a food processor and process just until the mixture forms a soft dough. Add the egg and process briefly to combine
  4. TURN onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead to form a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes
  5. ROLL out 3/4 of the pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper to line the base of lightly greased pie plate. Spoon in the filling. Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid then cover the filling, trimming pastry to fit
  6. CRIMP the edge, brush with extra beaten egg and cut 3 slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape
  7. BAKE in a very hot oven 220°C for 10 minutes, then reduce to 190°C and bake for a further 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately

Terrible pastry recipe

Followed the recipe to a tee. Not sure if my pie dish was too big but the pastry on top was super thin. The pastry on the base was raw after the recommended cooking time. Perhaps it should be baked blind first.
