Recipe Station

Here's everything you need. There's actually three steps to this dish, but it's well worth the effort. We love this pie because it's as authentic as it gets, and you'll be glad you took the time to make this dish the right way!

Ingredients To Gather

• Place about 1 cup of flour into a mixing bowl.

• Add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.

• Add 3/4 tablespoon of sugar.

• Rice the flour by adding a few drops of ice water at a time while stirring with a whisk. (The flour should look like grains of rice.)

• Cut 1 1/2 ounces of unsalted butter into pea size pieces and drop them in a bowl of ice water.

• Gently add a few pieces of the chilled hard butter at a time to the riced flour.

• Chill the dough, till it becomes very firm.

Steak and Mushroom Pie Filling Recipe:

• Slice a 5 or 6 ounce piece of beef steak into bite size cube shaped pieces.

• Slice 5 ot 6 mushrooms into wedges.

• Heat a saute pan over medium heat.

• Add 4 pats of unsalted butter.

• Add the beef and mushrooms.

• Saute the beef and mushrooms, till they become browned.

• Sprinkle enough flour into the pan while stirring to soak up the excess grease and to form a pan roux.

• Stir till the flour combines and it is smooth with no lumps.

• Add 2 cups of beef broth while stirring, to form a thin gravy.

• Reduce the temperature to low heat.

• Add sea salt and black pepper.

• Add 1 small pinch of marjoram.

• Simmer and reduce the gravy, till it becomes a medium sauce consistency.

Directions To Follow:

1. Once you've made the crust and the filling, you're ready to put it all together. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the crust is golden brown.

To enhance the presentation of this pie, we recommend warming the excess gravy and pouring it onto the plate around the pie. Then, serve with your choice of hot vegetables for a full and hearty meal that you'll want to make again and again!
