Steps

  • Coat meat in seasoned flour and brown in oil in batches for 4 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with wine and pour over the meat in a saucepan.
  • Sauté chopped onion until soft and add to the meat.
  • Fry mushrooms briefly, then add to the saucepan with bay leaf, sauce, stock, and seasoning.
  • Simmer covered with dampened greaseproof paper for 90 minutes until tender and let cool.
  • Mix crust ingredients with enough water to form a soft dough.
  • Roll out most of the dough to 5mm thickness and line a greased 1.2 litre basin.
  • Spoon the meat filling and some gravy into the basin.
  • Cover with a dough lid, pinch edges to seal, and trim.
  • Tie a greased foil or paper cover loosely over the basin with string.
  • Steam the pudding in a covered pot of simmering water for 90 minutes.
  • Fry sliced onions until golden, add wine and stock, reduce by half, and stir in mustard.
  • Serve pudding wedges with the hot onion gravy.
