1

500g lean beef mince

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons plain flour

200ml dark ale or stout beer

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons tomato puree

250ml beef stock

Salt and pepper to taste

1 sheet ready

made puff pastry

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the mince and cook until browned. Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine. Pour in the ale or stout beer and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato puree. Simmer for 5 minutes before adding the beef stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste then simmer for a further 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Grease an ovenproof dish with butter or oil then spoon in the cooled mince mixture. Cut a piece of puff pastry slightly larger than your dish then place it on top of the mince mixture pressing down around the edges to seal it in place. Make a few small slits in the top of the pastry with a sharp knife then brush with beaten egg or milk if desired for a golden finish when cooked.

Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top then serve hot with mashed potatoes or vegetables of your choice! Enjoy!
