Start off by coating the steak in flour and fry the steak in oil till browned (don’t cook it). Then remove into a bowl and fry all veggies in more oil - chop small. Then re add steak and then add balsamic, mustard and tomato purée. Give everything a good stir then add ale and honey and season. Pop lid on and cook slowly in warm oven 160 (fan) for 2 hours - stirring couple of times in between. Add splash of water or more ale to the pie if it needs it. Should be nice and thick and ready to eat.
Transfer to pie dishes if you need to. Then egg wash the rim and stick pastry round edge of dish and then egg wash the pastry before adding a lid. I cut a pattern in mine but you don’t need to as long as there’s a little hole at the top of the pastry. Egg wash again. Cook for half hour or so till bubbling and hot on 180 (fan).
