1 pound lean sirloin or top round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons flour
8 ounces button mushrooms, halved
5 filo pastry-sheets
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Simmer the onion with 1/2 cup of the stock in a large covered non-stick saucepan for 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the stock has reduced entirely. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. Add the steak to the saucepan and dry-fry until the meat is lightly browned. Return the onions with the remaining stock and red wine. Cover and simmer gently for about 1-1/2 hours, or until tender.
3. Blend the flour with 3 tablespoons cold water, add to the saucepan and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking 3 more minutes. Season to taste and spoon into a 5-cup pie dish.
4. Brush a sheet of filo pastry with a little of the oil, then crumple it up loosely and place the oil-side up over the filling. Repeat with the remaining pastry and oil.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until pastry is golden brown and crispy.
