Ingredients:

2 lb beef
910g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup red wine
120g
2 cans canned tomatoes
800g
1/2 cup fresh parsley
30g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Toss the diced beef in the flour until lightly coated.
2. Cook the Beef:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured beef to the pot in batches, making sure not to overcrowd, and sear until browned on all sides.
- Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.
5. Add Tomatoes and Beef:
- Add the crushed canned tomatoes and the browned beef back into the pot. Stir to combine.
6. Simmer the Filling:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
7. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. Assemble the Pies:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the pastry into circles or squares to fit the tops of your pie dishes or ramekins.
- Spoon the beef and red wine filling into individual pie dishes or a large pie dish.
- Place the pastry over the top of the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry.
9. Egg Wash:
- Brush the beaten egg over the pastry top to give it a golden finish.
10. Bake the Pies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
11. Serve:
- Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your flavorful beef and red wine pies with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.

Tips:

- For best results, use a good quality red wine that you would enjoy drinking.

- You can make the beef filling a day ahead and refrigerate it, allowing the flavors to meld together even more.

- Ensure the puff pastry is cold when you work with it to achieve the best flaky texture.

- Brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

- Let the pies cool slightly before serving; this helps to set the filling and makes them easier to eat.

And there you have it—delicious Beef and Red Wine Pies with Puff Pastry. The combination of tender beef, savory sauce, and buttery puff pastry creates a dish that's both comforting and gourmet. Serve hot and enjoy the compliments from your delighted guests!
