Epic Chunky Beef and Mushroom Pie

Fall apart, ultra tender chunks of beef, bursts of fresh mushroom smothered in the most incredible gravy and topped with flaky, golden puff pastry. My friends, this is not just another beef pie. This is an EPIC Chunky Beef and Mushroom Pie with a little secret ingredient that takes this to the next level!

This is the sort of food that makes me do the happy dance. Literally. I took a massive spoonful and was jumping up and down with glee. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and more.

Non foodies will find it hard to understand the elation you feel when you make something that is this good. I mean, gravy even in its most basic form (and anything you smother in gravy) is fantastic.

But with this Chunky Beef and Mushroom Pie, with just one bite, you know it’s a step up from the usual pie. You may not be able to put your finger on it, but you know there’s something different about it – just better.

This is the secret ingredient – Dried Porcini Mushrooms. Just a tiny amount adds a punch of savouriness and earthiness – in posh foodie language, it adds umami.

Gourmet ingredient? Yes. But:

a) you don’t need much, just 20g/0.7 oz and the soaking liquid forms part of the braising liquid; and

b) ALDI SPECIAL BUY *** ALDI SPECIAL BUY *** ALDI SPECIAL BUY!!!!

About 5 years ago, back when I was in corporate, a group of my colleagues were talking animatedly about the ALDI Special Buys for that week (which, from memory, was ski gear at insanely good prices). There they were, a group of professionals, all dressed up in suits and heels and I couldn’t believe that they were so excited about it that they lined up at ALDI just to get the deal!!

What the????

I had clearly missed the ALDI train. I am now a firm regular on the ALDI train.

Nowadays, whenever one of my foodie friends come across an awesome ALDI deal, we send out a group text. “OMG!!! Luv-a-Duck only $12!!!” “I found lobster tails at ALDI. LOBSTER TAILS!!!!!” “Bargain Bonds at ALDI, OMG, I got stacks!!” (OK, the last one is not food, but yes it has happened. Or maybe it was Calvin Klein, I can’t remember.)

(And yes, there are always lots of caps and exclamation marks).

And this weeks’ ALDI Special Buys including things that are right up my alley – GOURMET COOKING INGREDIENTS! Truffles, gold leaf gelatine, Dutch Cocoa (bakers, take note!), and one of my favourite secret ingredients: dried porcini mushrooms. <3

Dried Porcini Mushrooms are like a secret weapon stock. And I used it to make this Chunky Beef and Mushroom Pie because it makes the most incredible gravy sauce ever.

Topped with some flaky, golden puff pastry (yes, I know it looks crazy yellow but that’s how it comes out if you brush with egg yolk)……and that moment when you break through that pastry to reveal the tender, fall apart beef and the smell of that savoury extra-tasty-gravy….

Well, let’s just say you should prepare to swoon.

Or do as I did. Do a happy dance! – Nagi xx

Tender, fall apart chunks of beef with mushrooms in the most incredible gravy ever. The secret ingredient - Dried Porcini Mushrooms! They add a savoury earthiness that can't be replicated and takes this pie to the next level.

Ingredients

  • 20 g / 0.7 oz dried porcini mushrooms (slices, whole or chopped) (Note 1)
  • 1 ¼ cups / 312 ml boiled water
  • 1 kg / 2 lb chuck beef , cut into 2.5cm/1” cubes (Note 2)
  • 1 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 onion , finely chopped
  • 1 celery , finely chopped
  • 1 carrot , finely chopped
  • 3 carrots , halved lengthwise then cut into 1.5cm/ 3/5” chunks
  • 1/3 cup flour (any)
  • 300 ml / 10 oz dark ale (or substitute with red wine, Guinness or more beef stock)
  • 2 cups / 500 ml beef stock
  • 3 sprigs thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 2 bay leaves , fresh or dried
  • 200 g / 7 oz bacon , diced
  • 300 - 400g / 10 – 13 oz Swiss brown mushrooms , larger ones halved
  • 1 – 2 sheets puff pastry (enough to cover pie)
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  • Place porcini in a bowl and add hot water. Leave to soak for at least 30 minutes. Strain mushrooms and reserve soaking liquid. Roughly chop porcini.
  • Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot. Add half the beef and brown all over, then remove and repeat with remaining beef. Set beef aside.
  • Turn stove down to medium low. If the pot is looking dry, add more oil. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add finely chopped carrots and celery, cook for 6 minutes or until softened and sweet (taste test!). Add carrot chunks and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add flour and stir through.
  • Add ale, beef stock, and stir to dissolve the flour.
  • Add thyme, bay leaves, porcini, reserved porcini soaking liquid (don’t tip in gritty bits settled at bottom) and cooked beef. Turn heat up slightly, mix, bring to simmer, then cover. Adjust heat so it is simmering gently, not energetically.
  • Cook for 1 hr 45 minutes or until beef is tender. (See video)
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over high heat until golden. Remove and reserve bacon drippings in pan. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden all over. Return bacon into skillet, toss to coat mushrooms, then stir through stew.
  • Simmer stew, uncovered, for 15 minutes until mushrooms are tender. Then remove from stove and cool.

To cook:

  • Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
  • Pour stew into a pie dish, even out surface. Pictured pie dish is 24 x 20 x 4.5 cm / 10 x 8 x 1.8" (1.5L / 1.5 Qt) - see Notes for more conversions.
  • Top with puff pastry (if too big, just fold the ends in), brush with egg yolk. Cut a few slits in the surface then bake for 30 – 35 minutes until deep golden and the filling is piping hot in the middle (stick a knife in to check).
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving!

Recipe Notes:

1. Dried porcini mushrooms add a savoury earthiness to the gravy. In nerdy food terms, it's called "umami" and it really takes this pie to the next level. However, even if you can't get a hold of it, it is still very much worth making this pie. Or try using other dried mushrooms!
Dried porcini mushrooms will be available at ALDI Australia on Wednesday 28 June 2017 as part of their Special Buys for this week. Only available until sold out! And you can find all the other ingredients used in this recipe at ALDI too.
2. Any slow cooking cut of beef is ideal for this recipe. Chuck beef and gravy beef are my favourites, brisket is also good. I would not recommend using bolar blade roast or other lean cuts of beef as they will dry out.
3. SLOW COOKER: Skip the beef broth and use 2 x crumbled beef stock cubes instead. Follow recipe up to step 7 then transfer everything into a slow cooker (liquid might not cover everything, that's ok). Slow cook for 6 hours on low, or 3 hours on high. Then add cooked bacon and mushrooms, slow cook for another 45 minutes or do this step on the stove. If the liquid did not thicken to a thin gravy, simmer it uncovered on the stove. When it cools, the sauce thickens more.
PRESSURE COOKER: As with slow cooker directions but pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.
4. Pie Dish: It's ideal to have a pie dish where the filling comes up to the top or even protrudes slightly (though liquid should be at or just below rim) so the puff pastry sits nicely on top. However, it's not the end of the world if your dish is not the right size! Pictured pie dish is 24 x 20 x 4.5 cm / 10 x 8 x 1.8" (1.5L / 1.5 Qt). A 20cm/8" square pan is also a good size, as would be a large or deep pie dish around 23 cm / 9.5" x 4cm / 1.8" high. Also, this is fantastic to make in individual ramekins (that's what I do if I have a bit left over, using puff pastry scraps).
5. STORAGE: As with most slow cooked things, tastes even better the next day so in my perfect world, I make the filling the day before then cool overnight. To prepare ahead for fridge, thaw then top with puff pastry, keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Technically, thawed puff pastry kept in the fridge for a while puffs a wee bit less but it's not noticeable to me unless lined up side by side. The filling freezes great as does the filling with raw puff pastry on top (thawed then refrozen puff pastry also puffs a teeny bit less, but does not stop me). Always thaw before baking. For all make ahead scenarios, brush with egg just before baking.
6. Nutrition per serving, assuming 6 servings.

    Loved this! Thank you so much! I love making beef and veg pies. …….AND I too am a late converted ALDI tragic also! I dare not go there off the cuff coz I know there will be a hit to the credit card. But I must must must recommend their Potato Gratins! Comes in a pack of four and are so delicious. My sister, who frequents her local Aldi in Sydney, put me on to them and they have impressed many people when I cook them! They also come with spinach and ricotta but I like the original best I think.

    Thank you so much for sharing this great comfort food recipe. I often feed many hardworking men and find the most appriceated food is big hearty dishes like this. Great dish also because I can precook, freeze and never be caught short on a busy day. It’s a great belly warmer . The nearest aldi to me here in central qld is 8 hrs drive away in brisbane so I’ve used powered porcini mushroom salt that my daughter made last Xmas as a “from the heart gift”. Many thanks again Nagi. Happy cooking.Australia+61

    I’ve started following your recipes lately and everything is incredible! I want to try to make this tomorrow. One question, if I used turkey bacon would it give the same edge as the bacon does or would it just be better to skip out the bacon step all together ?

    Nagi, As the title says: EPIC! Made it at my daughter’s place because she is doing some renovations and had helpers there. Tantalised their taste buds while it was cooking, and of course it tasted awesome, particularly with a glass of red!! Thanks for your great recipes, I am enjoying receiving them into my Inbox. Going to try your sponge cake tomorrow for a family get-together. Anita

    Hi Nagi,

    Great recipe! I was hoping that Aldi here in a he states held the same treasures as Australia, but alas no gourmet items :(. I will say the trip was a pleasant surprise as I have not been in an Aldi for years.

    I made the recipe for brunch today and the entire family was swooning! I made the filling last night to allow the flavors to marry…..and I highly recommend this for a enhanced flavor profile (if you can keep your husband and his soup spoon out of the pot)! I also used black truffle infused olive oil to sauté the holy trinity (onions, celery & carrots) to amp up the mushroom flavor. Love this recipe and will make this again for sure. Cheers!

        Can you use shitaki mushrooms? Not sure if they sell these at woolworths or coles (gold coast, oz). Can you still buy them at aldi? Also what’s better the ale or a red wine?

          HI Tara! Shitaki is 100% amazing in this, in fact if you use dried shitaaki you can skip the porcini because it has a similar earthy flavour. I prefer ale in this but red wine is honestly really just as terrific, it’s just a matter of what I have on hand 🙂 N x

    The pie is making me mega hungry. We haven’t really eaten great since we arrived!

    Hi Nagi

    Your blog had me running off to Aldi (Q Super centre, Gold Coast) first thing yesterday morning. I had walked through an Aldi once before but didn’t think much of it. I opened my eyes yesterday and couldn’t believe what I found! I know you said that I could find everything to make this dish there… and I did: even the 28cm enamel baking dish for $8! I had planned to use a regular casserole dish but having that little ledge to lay the pastry on…that’s gold! Mine stuck a bit, perhaps I should have greased it first?

    I’m a huge fan of my pressure cooker (Breville FAST SLOW COOKER) so I tweaked your recipe just a little. After getting the porcini soaking (only $3.99 at Aldi!) I started cooking with Step 9 using the SEAR setting. Apart from not needing to dirty another pan, the residual flavour went into the dish. I used the SEAR setting through til Step 7. Step 4 did not take as much time as noted in your recipe. (If I thought it was getting too hot, I would just switch the setting over to WARM). I cooked the beef (I bought gravy beef) on HIGH PRESSURE for 25 minutes. Then I used the WARM setting for the remainder of the recipe. If you need to evaporate more liquid, I would switch it over to the SEAR setting for a bit.

    My husband was still raving about this dish this morning. So much for leftovers… we all loved it so much we overate!

    Thank you!

      BA HA HA!!! Isn’t it an eye opener?? Until my colleagues told me about it, I had never been. Now I’m a regular!!! And guess what – I USE THE BREVI
      LLE TOO!!! You wouldn’t believe the number of comments I get on videos where I use it where people say “that’s not a slow cooker, it’s a pressure cooked” and I have to explain. 🙂 I always write my recipes starting on the stove then finishing in the slow cooker because most people don’t have the awesome sear function. I’m so so pleased you enjoyed this Chris, thank you for letting me know! PS My pastry got a bit stuck to the ledge too but it didn’t bother me because it’s only a bit but yes you could grease it 🙂

    What would substitute for Swiss Brown mushrooms? I seriously doubt we could find those here on island, and I know we don’t have anything like an Aldi store here. Perhaps those are found on Oahu, but not in the very rural area of the far less populated island I live on – Big Island. Thanks! and thanks for all your yummy recipes.

      Hi Merrily. Have you tried the Hamakua Heritage Farm in Laupahoehoe? They have stopped the tours but might still have a store or can let you know where to buy their produce. I think Crimini mushrooms are what we call Swiss Browns in Australia. They might be easier to find on the Big Island?

      Hi Merrily! Any mushrooms will be fine, if you can’t find mushrooms, then add chunky vegetables of your choice – like potato, more carrots. zucchini, or baby onions. Just bear in mind the cook time – carrots and onions can handle the slow cooking time, potatoes and zucchini would get too mushy so add them towards the end etc. 🙂

    Hi Nagi, this looks tasty, can you make it the day before and reheat the following day?

    Hi Nagi, I was wondering if it would be OK to substitute dried porcini mushrooms with dried shiitake mushrooms or would the flavour be altered too much . Love ALL your recipes cheers Jennifer

      Hi Jennifer, that would be terrific! The flavour of the shiitake mushroom soaking liquid is not as strong so it will reduce that extra “something something” porcini gives it but it will still have an edge 🙂 One tip would be to reduce the soaking liquid to intensify the flavour i.e. 2 cups soaking liquid reduced to 1 cup which is how much is used with porcini 🙂 N xx
