Do I Let Beef Stew Cool Before Putting Pastry on Top
Traditional Newfoundland Beef Stew with Pastry
Welcome to Bonita's kitchen I'm so glad you stopped by, I guess you are looking for a delicious beef stew with pastry. Will look no further, this beef stew is so easy to make you will be so delighted.
My beef stew is full of fresh local vegetables and seasoned perfectly, I like making this meal with beef that got some fat on it. Frying the beef until its golden brown and the marbling in the beef helps build those big flavours you need for your stew. Then adding the seasonings to the frying pan to bring out the heat and flavours to enhance your dish.
This is a prefect meal on a cold winters day, it will remind you of back in the day when the stews would be slow cooked on a big wood burning stove and then baked in the oven just right.
Homemade pastry for the top of your beef stew made with cold butter to help make your pastry nice and flaky.
Don't be afraid to use more seasonings for your taste make it your own by just checking the flavours after its cooked in your pot and add more as needed. I'm going to share a couple of links to more delicious recipes you may like to make, before you more on to my recipe for beef stew with pastry.

Instructions
Method for BeefStew:
1 - Preheat frying pan to medium heat on stove top, when ready add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp butter, chopped beef, cook until brown on both sides. Add chopped onions, fry until it starts to get golden brown, then add 1 tbsp of garlic and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp pepper.
Please note: only cook garlic for a minute until the flavours start to release don't let it burn because it will charge the flavour. Remove meat from frying pan and put into your medium pot and set aside.
2 - In the same frying pan add 1 tsp butter let melt then add 1 tbsp flour,mix it around the pan until the flour starts to brown, add 1 cup of beef or vegetable broth let thicken then set aside until the last 20 minutes of your cooking step.
3 - In your medium pot add all your vegetables and the remaining beef or vegetable broth and tomatoes, put on medium to low heat on stove top for 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally, the last 30 minutes add your thickening to the pot.
4 - After your cooking time have completed add your thickening mix together, let it continue cooking for another 30 minutes.
5 - When beef stew have cooked remove from heat and start scooping it into your round pie pan, don't over fill your pie pan,it needs room to breathe when the baking starts. The remainder of beef stew scoop into a jar to have later.
Method for Pastry:
1 - In a large bowl add all ingredients not the water and start mixing with your hand until all the butter is equally mixed through, then add the 3 tbsp cold water and mix until it starts to form a ball, at this time you can place your dough in the fridge until you are ready to roll out your dough.
2 - Remove dough from fridge and put on a piece of parchment paper covered with flour, roll with your rolling pin until it is the size of your round pan.
3 - Put the dough on top of the beef stew in the pie pan and pinch the sides to seal the pan, then cut one or two inch cuts in the top of the dough. This will help the beef stew to breathe and release any steam from the stew.
4 - Pre heat oven to 350° , place pie in the oven on a piece of foil wrap, bake pie for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat, place on the counter until it reaches room temperature before you cut beef stew with pastry pie.
