Ingredients

500 ml hot beef stock
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 kg diced beef
2 onions finely chopped
2 carrots finely chopped
1 stalk celery finely chopped
2 sprigs thyme or rosemary
1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt
225 g plain flour plus extra to dust
170 g unsalted butter chilled and cut into small cubes

Steps

Whisk hot beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato purée, and cornflour in a slow cooker.
Brown the beef in vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, then transfer it to the slow cooker.
Add onions, carrots, celery, and thyme or rosemary, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours and 20 minutes.
Rub the flour and chilled butter together, add enough water to form dough, chill it for 20 minutes, and roll it on a floured surface.
Transfer the beef filling to a 9-inch pie dish, cover it with the pastry, brush with beaten egg, and cut a small opening in the center.
Bake at 400 F for 35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the beef reaches 160 F.
