Deep-Dish Steak and Vegetable Pie
1 recipe Whole Wheat Pastry
1-1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak , trimmed/cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup dry white wine or beef broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/4 teaspoons dried marjoram, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 medium red or green sweet pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small carrots, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half or light cream
3/4 cup loose-pack frozen peas
1 beaten egg
1. Prepare the Whole Wheat Pastry and set aside.
2. In a large skillet brown meat, half at a time, in oil. Drain fat, if needed. Return all of the meat to skillet. Stir in broth, wine, garlic, marjoram, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Add parsnips. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan melt margarine or butter. Add sweet pepper, carrot, and onion. Cook and stir until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in flour. Add half-and-half or cream; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the meat mixture; add the peas. Heat through. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole; set aside.
4. On lightly floured surface, roll the Whole Wheat Pastry into a circle 2 inches larger than the diameter of the top of casserole and about 1/4 inch thick. Prick pastry a few times with a fork. Center pastry over top of casserole. Trim pastry 1 inch beyond edge of the casserole. Turn pastry edge under and press gently to adhere to edge of casserole. If desired, use pastry scraps to make small vegetable decorations. Brush crust with beaten egg. If using pastry decorations, place atop crust and brush again with egg.
5. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Makes 6 main-dish servings.
Whole Wheat Pastry: In a mixing bowl stir together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push to side of bowl. Repeat until all is moistened, using 1 to 2 tablespoons additional cold water. Form dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap until needed.
Make-Ahead Tip: Chop vegetables; cover and chill up to 24 hours.
