• 500g Wagyu beef, cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 200g button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 330ml ale of your choice
• 300ml beef stock
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. In a large, oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Wagyu beef cubes and sear them until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.

3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

4. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced carrots to the pot. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring well to coat them evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.

6. Slowly pour in the ale and beef stock, stirring continuously to combine all the ingredients. Add the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.

7. Return the seared Wagyu beef to the pot, ensuring it is fully immersed in the liquid. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Allow it to cook for approximately 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

8. Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the top of your pie dish. Once the beef filling is done, remove the pot from the oven and carefully transfer the mixture to your pie dish. Place the pastry sheet on top, sealing the edges.

9. Brush the beaten egg wash over the pastry to give it a golden, glossy finish.

10. Bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.

11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

12. Slice into generous portions, allowing the tender Wagyu beef to mingle with the rich gravy and flaky pastry. Enjoy this delectable Wagyu Steak and Ale Pie as the epitome of comfort and flavor.
