STEAK AND OYSTER POT PIE
Serves 6 - 8
A wintery take on surf and turf where Steak meets succulent Jamestown oysters amid a rich broth and light puff pastry topping. Simple, yet special enough for a dinner party.
INGREDIENTS
2 | pounds round or topside steak, trimmed |
1/ 2 | cup flour, seasoned to taste with pepper |
1 | tablespoon olive oil |
1 | onion, diced |
2 | carrots, chopped |
1 | parsnip, chopped |
2 | celery sticks, chopped |
1 | cup mushrooms, chopped |
1/ 4 | cup tomato paste |
1 | teaspoon Worcestershire sauce |
1 | cup beer |
1 | cup beef stock |
1/3 | cup strong coffee |
24 | Sequim Bay oysters, freshly shucked |
1/ 4 | cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1 | sheet ready rolled puff pastry |
DIRECTIONS
- Place the meat and flour in a plastic bag and toss to coat.
- Heat half the oil in a large pan. Sauté the onion, carrot, parsnip and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes on high, then set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and cook the meat until browned on all sides. Mix in the tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes or until the paste turns a russet color and becomes aromatic.
- Return the vegetables to the pan along with the Worcestershire, beer, stock and coffee.
- Cook over low heat for 1 hour, covered.
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
- Combine the oysters and parsley with the meat mixture, then pour it all into an oiled casserole or deep pie dish. Lay the sheet of puff pastry over top, trimming edges a little larger than the casserole and pinching along the rim of the dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
