2tablespoonsSeasoned flour
1mediumOnion; skinned and sliced
¾pintBeef stock
Salt and pepper
4ouncesButton mushrooms; wiped
17 1/2 ounces frozen puff pastry; thawed

Directions

Coat the meat with seasoned flour, then put in a large saucepan with the sliced onion and stock.

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1½-2 hours or until the meat is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Allow the meat to cool, add the mushrooms and fill a deep pie dish with enough of the gravy to half fill it.

Roll out the pastry so it's 1 inch larger than the top of the dish and dampen the edges with water. Place on top of the pie dish without stretching the pastry. Trim if necessary and knock up the edges.

Decorate as desired and glaze the top with a beaten egg.

Bake in the oven at 220C for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C and cook for a further 20 minutes.
