Method
Beef and mushroom family pie
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat; cook onions, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add beef; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, until changed in colour. Stir in mushrooms. Add paste, sauce, gravy mix and water; bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes or until mixture is thick. Cool.
Preheat oven to 220ºC/425ºF.
Oil a 22cm (9-inch) pie dish. Line base and side of dish with shortcrust pastry; trim to fit. Spoon in beef mixture. Brush rim of pastry with a little egg; top with puff pastry, pressing edges to seal. Trim excess pastry; brush top of pie with a little more egg. Place pie on an oven tray.
Bake pie, on lower oven shelf, for 40 minutes or until pastry is browned and crisp. Stand 10 minutes before serving.
