Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place flour and salt in a resealable bag or bowl. Add meat cubes and shake or toss until evenly coated.
  3. Heat shortening or oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  4. Brown the meat in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan, until seared on all sides. Remove browned meat to a plate.
  5. Return all browned meat to the Dutch oven. Add onions, carrots, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.
  6. Pour in beef stock or bouillon water. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until meat and carrots are tender.
  8. Pour the meat and gravy mixture into a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
  9. Roll out pie crust dough and place over the filling. Trim excess dough and flute the edges.
  10. Use a fork to pierce the crust in several places to allow steam to escape during baking.
  11. Brush the top of the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  12. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  13. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
