• 800g Diced beef
• 2 x Celery stalks, chopped
• 3 x Garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 x Onions, diced
• 200g Carrots, roughly chopped

Method

STEP 1:
Coat your beef in the flour and Steak Rub.

STEP 2:
In low calorie cooking spray, pan-fry your beef until browned.

STEP 3:
Remove from the pan and use a splash of water to scrape any excess from the pan. Pour into the same pot as your steak.

STEP 4:
Next, fry the onion, carrots, mushrooms, garlic and celery for around 10 minutes, until softened.

STEP 5:
Add them to the pot with your beef, then pour over the ale and beef stock.

STEP 6:
Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and balsamic vinegar, along with the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 & ½ hours.

STEP 7:
Add to a casserole dish. Cut your pastry to size and place over the top.

STEP 8:
Brush over a thin layer of beaten egg and crimp the sides with a fork. Make a couple of horizontal slits in the pastry to allow the steam to rise.

STEP 9:
Bake for around 30 minutes, until your pastry is golden brown.
 
ENJOY!!!
