Steak and Ale Pie

A British dinner built around beef chuck and brown ale — on the table in 150 minutes. The macros do the talking: 47g protein, 44g carbs, and 48g fat in every 802-calorie serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 2 lb Beef chuck
• 1.5 cups Brown ale
• 1 Yellow onion
• 2 Carrots
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 lb Puff pastry
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

Steps

1. Brown the beef cubes in batches until deeply crusted, then soften the onion, carrots, and mushrooms in the same pot.
2. Dust with flour, cook 1 minute, then pour in the ale — it will foam dramatically. Add the broth and simmer covered 90 minutes until the beef is spoon-tender and the sauce is rich and dark.
3. Cool the filling completely. A hot filling melts the pastry lid before it ever sees the oven.
4. Fill a deep pie dish, lay the puff pastry over the top, crimp the edges, and cut a steam vent. Brush with beaten egg.
5. Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden. Serve with mashed potatoes and greens; the gravy situation will take care of itself.
