Combining tender beef, a rich red wine sauce, and flaky puff pastry, this recipe is sure to win over both young and old alike.

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks.
- Slice the mushrooms and carrots, chop the celery, and dice the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
- Place the flour in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag.
- Add the beef chunks and toss to coat them thoroughly in the flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the flour-coated beef to the skillet and brown on all sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet.
- Pour in the red wine and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the sliced carrots and chopped parsley, stirring to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- While the beef mixture simmers, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit the top of your pie dish. Ensure it’s large enough to cover the dish with a little overhang.
- Once the beef mixture is ready, transfer it to a pie dish.
- Carefully lay the puff pastry over the top, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry if needed.
- Brush the beaten yolk over the top of the puff pastry. This will give the pie a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a little extra fresh parsley if desired.

Family beef burgundy pie FAQ:
You can check if the beef is tender by using a fork or a knife. It should easily break apart or cut with minimal resistance. Additionally, the beef should have simmered for about 45 minutes to 1 hour to ensure it reaches a tender consistency.
Yes, while red wine is traditional for Beef Burgundy, you can substitute with other dry red wines like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Avoid sweet wines, as they can alter the flavor profile significantly.
To store leftovers, let the pie cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
A standard 9-inch pie dish is ideal for this recipe. If you use a smaller or larger dish, cooking times may vary, so adjust accordingly.
If puff pastry is unavailable, you can use a pie crust or a biscuit dough as alternatives. However, keep in mind that the texture and flakiness of the pie may differ.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality red wine, as it significantly enhances the flavor of the dish.
- Allow the beef to simmer slowly to ensure it becomes tender and absorbs the rich flavors of the broth and wine.
- For a golden and shiny crust, brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg yolk before baking.
- Cool the filling slightly before adding it to the puff pastry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as peas or potatoes, for additional variety and nutrition.
