5 and a half syns per serving
INGREDIENTS:
Calorie-conscious cooking spray
600g of beef frying steak that has been chopped into bite-sized pieces and cleared of all visible fat
400g of quartered button mushrooms
and 200g of peeled and diced celeriac
200g of peeled small shallots
Two tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
A tiny handful of freshly chopped, finely chopped thyme
200 millilitres of beef stock
Goblets of Guinness
One tablespoon of gravy granules
100g Light Puff Pastry, Jus-Rol
One egg whisked just enough
About the mash:
800g Desiree or King Edward potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped,
400g finely shredded Brussels sprouts,
and 100ml hot vegetable stock
INSTRUCTIONS:
Set oven temperature to 220°C (200°F, Gas 7). Place the steak in a sizable, heavy skillet and cook it on high heat for five to six minutes, or until it turns brown. Coat the steak with low-calorie cooking spray.
Stir in the shallots, mushrooms, celeriac, thyme, stock, Guinness, and gravy granules. After bringing to a boil, lower the heat to medium and simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Take off the heat and transfer the mixture into four 12cm-long, deep oval pie dishes.
To fit the pie dishes, roll out the pastry and cut four lids. Use a fork to press down on the pastry lids after brushing the dish rims with water. Apply beaten egg to each lid. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.
When the potatoes are ready, boil them for 12 to 15 minutes, adding sprouts for the final five minutes. After draining, put it back in the pan with the stock. Mix thoroughly and serve right away.
Slimming World Steak Pie's Best Advice:
For a lower-calorie meal, try steamed green vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and sprouts instead of mashed potatoes.
Investigate flavour combos and ingredient substitutions for a customised touch.
FAQs:
Can I make pie stock with a stock cube?
It is best to use fresh beef stock to give the dish more thickness and gelatin. If using a stock cube, mix in a small amount of flour and cook until the consistency is as thick as you like.
How do I keep a steak pie from having a soggy bottom?
This pie, with just a pastry lid, stays dry on the bottom. Preheat a baking tray and set the pie dish directly on it to serve as a base. To allow heat and steam to escape, make a steam hole in the pastry lid.
