Directions
Season the meat and brown it in a ovenproof pan with hot oil for about 5-10 minutes.
Add chopped onion , celery and garlic , cook gently until they’re starting to soften
Add sliced mushrooms and flour to coat the vegetables and cook for another 5-10 minutes
Pour in the red wine, crumble in the stock cube and season.
Add the bay leaves, bring to a simmer, cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove and discard the bay leaves and then leave to cool to room temperature. This is your pie filling.
Set the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Add the cooled filling into a pie dish. Smooth the pastry over the top of the filling and brush with the beaten egg.
