Ingredients

200 g	flour
700 g	braising steak, trimmed, cubed
170 g	kidney, cored, chopped
100 g	butter
2 clove(s)	garlic, minced
1 medium	onion, chopped
100 g	mushrooms, chopped
150 ml	beef broth
150 ml	brown ale
1	bay leaf
½ tsp	dried thyme
1 tbsp	Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp	tomato puree
	milk, to glaze

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Toss the steak and kidney in 25g flour.

Melt a bit of butter in a large saucepan and sauté the garlic, onion and mushrooms until tender. Add the steak, kidney and remaining coating flour and cook until lightly browned.

Gradually add the beef broth, ale, bay leaf, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and tomato puree. Cover and simmer gently for about 1 1/4 hours.

Spoon the mixture into a large pie dish.

Put the remaining flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl and combine with remaining butter. Mix until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add 4 tablespoon of cold water and mix to form a dough.

Roll out dough on a floured surface to 5cm wider than the pie dish. Cut a 2.5 cm wide strip from the outer edge and place on the dampened rim of the dish.

Brush the strip with water. Cover with the pastry lid and press lightly to seal the edges. Trim off excess pastry, knot the edges back to seal and crimp. Brush with milk and bake at 200°C for 30-45 minutes.
