Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 lbs chuck beef, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 1/2 cups Burgundy wine
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme, stems removed and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram leaves
- 1 container whole crimini mushrooms
- 1 bag frozen pearl onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon shortening
- 2-3 tablespoons ice-cold water
- Heavy cream, for brushing
- Flaked sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes on all sides, working in batches if needed.
- Stir in tomato paste, then pour in Burgundy wine. Add pepper, bay leaves, thyme, and marjoram. Bring to a simmer.
- Add mushrooms and pearl onions. Cover and simmer gently for 1.5–2 hours, or until beef is fork-tender and sauce is rich.
- Meanwhile, make the pie crust: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spoon beef Burgundy filling into oven-safe ramekins or small pie dishes.
- Roll out pie crust and cover each ramekin. Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with flaked sea salt.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until crust is golden and flaky.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef in red wine overnight before cooking.
- You can substitute Burgundy with another full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare the beef filling a day in advance and refrigerate, then assemble pies before baking.
