Instructions:
Prepare the filling:
Heat a little oil in the pan and add the onions. Saute till soft and well cooked. Then add garlic and let it sauté for cooked more one minute.
Add the teased brisket and cook till you feel that it is beginning to get brown. Then add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Bring it to the boil and back down to simmer for approximately 15 mins until the liquid has condensed and become a stew.
Add in the smoked paprika, bell pepper and mixed vegetables. Allow the mixture to cook down until it is a bit thick and all the veggies are soft.
Switch off the stove and fcontinuelly mix in shredded cheese as well as cream cheese or sour cream for sour taste. Once done, make sure that the heat is not too high and let the mixture cool down to a comfortable level.
Prepare the pastry:
Start the oven and set it at 200°C (390°F)
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured space. Use half the pastry to line the baking dish, ensuring that enough is left for the top layer.
Spoon the beef filling in to the dish lined with pastry and smooth over to fill the dish evenly.
Bake the pie:
Place a second sheet over the filling to entirely cover it with pastry. Pinch the seams and cut off any pastry that spills over the edge.
Garnish the top with beaten egg for that golden colour.
In the middle of the pie, cut a small insertion so that the steam can escape.
Afterward, bake at 25-30 degrees until the entire pastry turns golden brown and crisp.
Serve:
Leave the pie prepared to cool down and can be cut into pieces after 5 minutes. Serve with perfect complimentary foods like a fresh salad and creamy mashed potatoes.
Hints for Success:
You may also put the pie in the lower part of the oven so that the pastry can be crispy only but ensure that the pie filling is fully baked through.
In case you want to maximize the taste, leave this beef brisket to soak in the mixture of Seasame, Worcestershire and Soy Sauce overnight before starting the work.
You can easily modify the vegetable mix to your individual preference. For instance, mushrooms, zucchini, or maybe even spinach would be worthwhile alternatives.
