SIRLOIN TIP POT PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken gravy as directed adding all the seasonings, plus the (optional) beef flavored soup base and set aside.
• Heat skillet until hot.
• Add most of the olive oil to the skillet and quickly brown the cut up steak and onion.(Note: the size or amount of steak used is your choice).
• Salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
• In the microwave, partially cook carrots and peas in separate bowls with a small amount of water and covered with cling wrap.
• Use the remaining olive oil to lightly oil a square or round eight inch glass cooking dish.
• Place the meat, onion, carrots and peas in the cooking dish; distribute evenly.
• Pour enough of the gravy over all to bring the level up 3/4 inch from the dish rim.
• Lightly push around so gravy gets mixed in but does not disturb meat and vegetables placement too much.
• Cover with the puff pastry turning in the edge.
• Press and seal with a fork to the edge of dish.
• Poke several holes all over the pastry with a fork.
• Bake in a hot oven, 400 degrees Fahrenheit, for 40 minutes. Ovens vary so until dark golden brown.
• Sometimes it bubbles over so a piece of aluminum foil underneath saves a mess.
• You can brush the pastry with a small amount of beaten egg to add a beautiful golden brown color to the pastry the last 10 minutes of the cooking time.
• Enjoy!
