crust: |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 cup shortening |
5 to 6 tablespoons cold water |
filling: |
1-1/2 pounds boneless beef round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms |
2 cups beef broth, divided |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 cups cubed peeled potatoes |
1 cup sliced carrots |
3/4 cup sliced celery |
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |

Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour, cheese, salt, pepper and thyme; cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water just until moistened. Form into a ball. Cover and refrigerate.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, brown beef and onion in oil. Add mushrooms; saute for 1 minute. Add 1 cup broth, salt, thyme, garlic powder and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Add potatoes, carrots and celery; cover and simmer 20 minutes longer or until meat is tender and vegetables are crisp-tender. Combine flour and remaining broth until smooth; gradually add to beef mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in browning sauce if desired. Reduce heat; keep warm.
4. Roll two-thirds of the dough into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Line the bottom and sides of an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Roll remaining pastry into a 6-in. circle; cut into six wedges.
5. Spoon beef mixture into crust. Place pastry wedges on top. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer or until pastry is golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.
