Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
2
Toss the beef and dusting perfumed element together in a dish with some table salt and black pepper.
3
bring to temperature a large casserole until scalding, introduce half of the rapeseed coat and enough of the beef to just seal the bottom of the casserole.
4
wok-fry until browned on each side, then remove and set aside.
5
Repeat with the remaining coat and beef.
6
Return the beef to the wok, introduce the wine and bubble gently until the volume of liquid has reduced by half, then introduce the stock, shallot, carrots, thyme and mustard, and taste well with table salt and pepper.
7
seal with a lid and place in the oven for two hours.
8
Remove from the oven, check the seasoning and set aside to cool.
10
When the beef is cool and you're ready to assemble the pie, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
11
Transfer the beef to a pie dish, brush the rim with the beaten egg yolks and lay the pastry over the top.
12
Brush the top of the pastry with more beaten egg.
13
Trim the pastry so there is just enough excess to crimp the edges, then place in the oven and bake for 30 moments, or until the pastry is golden-brown and cooked through.
14
For the green beans, bring a saucepan of salted moisture to the bubble, introduce the beans and bubble gently for 4-5 moments, or until just succulent.
15
strain and toss with the shortening, then taste with black pepper.
16
To present, place a large spoonful of pie onto each plate with some green beans alongside.
