Steak and Mushroom Pie

Beef – Cut into 1 inch cubes with the fat trimmed, I’ll include a section below detailing what kind of cuts you can use below. Flour – You have to dredge the beef through flour to brown it in a skillet, an important step flavor wise! Olive oil – To brown up our beef in the Instant Pot. Veggies – Carrots, celery, and mushrooms. You can use any mushrooms such as chanterelles, cremini, shiitake, oysters, etc. Broth – Low sodium beef broth to carry through all that delicious beefy flavor. Wine/Beer – You can use either red wine or Guinness, a dry Irish stout. It’s more traditional to use a stout but a nice full bodied dry red wine will work just fine as well. Puff pastry – I prefer to use store bought because it’s far easier than making your own and tastes just as good! Bacon – Cook it up fresh! None of that pre cooked crumbled up stuff. Spices – Bay leaves and fresh thyme. Garlic – Use as much or little as you like. Seasoning – Salt and pepper to taste. Egg – For egg wash to ensure a perfectly glossy and browned pastry crust.
