Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by cutting the beef into bite-sized cubes. As an Asian cooking tradition, I prefer to wash the meat with rubbing rock salt and rinse it in running water to ensure cleanliness.
- Mince the garlic and onions, finely chopping them for a burst of flavor.
2. Sauté the Beef:
- Heat a casserole over low-medium heat and add cooking oil.
- Fry the beef on both sides until it turns a rich brown color, ensuring a delicious caramelized exterior.
- Add butter to enhance the richness and continue stirring.
- Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside for later use.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, releasing their sweet aroma.
- Return the fried beef to the pan and combine with the garlic and onions.
- Stir gently to blend the flavors and cover the mixture, allowing it to simmer.
4. Season and Simmer:
- Add freshly ground pepper and salt to taste, ensuring a well-seasoned filling.
- Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring to incorporate all the flavors.
- Add bay leaves to enhance the aromatic profile of the dish.
- Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. Enrich with Tomato Sauce:
- Pour in the tomato sauce, ensuring it blends harmoniously with the other ingredients.
- Continue stirring until the sauce is fully incorporated.
- Add garlic and onion powder to elevate the taste, infusing the filling with additional depth.
- Adjust the seasoning with more pepper and salt, tailoring it to your personal preference.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for a few more minutes, ensuring all the flavors are well-developed.
6. Prepare the Pie Crust:
- Dust your work surface with flour.
- Roll out the pie dough to fit the size of your casserole dish.
- Carefully spread the dough in the casserole, ensuring it covers the base and sides.
- Pour the prepared beef steak filling into the casserole, evenly distributing it.
- Cover the filling with the remaining dough, sealing the edges using a fork.
- Create a small vent in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
- For a golden finish, brush the top crust with an egg wash.
7. Baking and Serving:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the assembled beef steak pie in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
