Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a flameproof casserole and fry onions and garlic until golden.
  • Remove onions, then fry mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of oil and set aside.
  • Coat beef cubes in seasoned flour.
  • Fry the beef in the remaining oil in two batches until browned and set aside.
  • Deglaze the pan with wine, simmer until syrupy, then add stock, sauces, and herbs.
  • Return onions, mushrooms, and beef to the pan, cover, and braise for 1 hour.
  • Add potatoes and continue braising for 1 more hour.
  • Rub butter into salted flour, then mix with 3-4 tablespoons of water to form a stiff dough.
  • Wrap dough in film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Warm the vinegar in a pan and stir in the Spanish onion rings.
  • Rest the casserole for 30 minutes and increase the oven temperature to 200°C.
  • Roll the pastry 2.5cm larger than the dish and discard the herbs from the stew.
  • Seal the pastry lid over the moistened dish rim and pierce a hole in the center.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Rest for 10 minutes and serve with the vinegar onions.
