Bloody Mary Chuck Beef Pie

Kit Needed:

• Oven safe frying pan
• Sharp knife
• Potato masher
• Pan
• Piping bag

Shopping List:

• Half a kilo of diced chuck beef

• Couple of spoonfuls of Bloody Mary Rub

• Good quality beef stock

• A large white onion finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 or 4 finely chopped chestnut mushrooms

• Half a glass of red wine (darker the better)

• 4 Maris Piper potatoes

• A good glug of double cream

• Rapeseed oil

• Butter

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Coat the beef chuck in Bloody Mary rub and fry on a high heat with the rapeseed oil until browned.

3. Add the finely chopped mushroom and onion to the frying pan and sauté for 2 minutes.

4. Whilst still on the heat, carefully add the wine (this could set aflame), and your beef stock.

5. Cover the pan and bang in the oven for around 90 minutes until the meat is tender.

6. Whilst cooking, peel your potatoes and boil them whole in salty water. Chefs tip: boiling the potatoes whole prevents you from having watery mash later on in the process.

7. Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth with butter & cream.

8. Starting from the outside, pipe the mash onto the pie mixture, being careful with the pan as it will be hot.

9. Brush the mash with butter, as this will give you a nice crispy top.

10. Grill until golden brown. Enjoy!
