4 celery sticks, diced

1 onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, crushed

3 rashers bacon, diced

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 ½ cups beef stock

½ cup red wine

2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2cm pieces

6 eschallots, peeled and halved

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 egg yolk

chopped parsley, to serve

Place beef in a large bowl. Add flour and a pinch of salt. Toss to lightly coat the beef in the flour. Set aside.

Place oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add carrot, celery and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes or until softened.

Add garlic and bacon to the pan. Continue to cook for a further 2 minutes. Transfer ingredients to the bowl of a slow cooker, reserving the oil in the pan to cook the beef.

Return the pan to the heat. Shake any excess flour from the beef then add to the pan and cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes. Gently flip each piece of beef to brown on the other side. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

Return the pan to the heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer the mushrooms to the slow cooker.

Add tomato paste, stock, red wine, chopped carrots and eschallots to the slow cooker. Place the lid on and allow to cook for 6 hours.

Once the beef bourguignon is cooked and the beef is tender, transfer to a large baking dish or 4 small baking dishes and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180℃. Cover the baking dish with the sheet of puff pastry, crimping along the edges to seal. Use a pastry brush to glaze the surface of the pastry with the egg yolk.

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with a side of salad greens or vegetables.
