  7. Cook at a gentle simmer (lid off) for 3 hours until beef is meltingly tender.
  8. If the liquid is too watery, strain in out and while resting the meat and vegetable boil till it becomes reduced and thick and then add the meat mix back in and season with salt and pepper.

  11. Rub the butter and flour mix with your hands and fingertips until you get a breadcrumb like consistency.

  16. Remove one sheet of baking paper and using the other sheet, invert the pastry on top of your casserole dish and remove the second sheet of paper and trim and press the pastry to cover the meat filling.
  17. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg, putting a little extra on the edges to seal the gap.
  18. With a knife poke a few holes in the pastry to let out the steam.
