This how to make a beef pie recipe is the all round best you can ever see online, the recipe below was prepared by someone who has been in the mince beef pie business for about 30 years. I was a beef pie addict during my high school days, and ever since then I can hardly do without beef pie!

Ingredients needed to Make a beef pie :
2 tbsp vegetables oil
400g-1lb 2oz beef mince
1 onions, well sliced
3 tbsp tomato's purée 3 tbsp plain flours, with more for dusting
70g-2½oz mushrooms, well sliced
200ml-9fl oz stout
Dash Worcestershire's sauce
400g/112oz ready- made short crust pastries
1 free-range egg, yolk alone, lightly beaten

How to make a Beef pie:
Preheat the oven to 400C/600F/Gas 8.

Heat the oil in a very deep frying pan and fry the beef mince for about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it changed to brown.

Place onion and boil it for 4-5 minutes, then turn in the tomato purée and boil for 2-3 more minutes. Mash in the flour and cook for more minutes, then place the sliced mushrooms, the stout or beef stock and some couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Cook them, then reduce the amount of the oven heat, close the pan with a lid and allow it to simmer for 40 minutes. Then place it aside and let to cool down, turn the meat's mixtures into a one pie dish.

Roll out the pastry on a flour work surface until it becomes a little bit larger than the pie dish. Then gently drape the pastry on the dish, pressing it firmly on the edges. Trim, and shape the edges into a well fluted shape.

Cut out some the leaf shapes out from the pastry trimmings and decorate the top of the pie, sticking them to the pastry with the beaten egg yolk.

Make 5 or 6 slits in the pastry to the steam in so as to escape, you can now brush the pie with the rests of the beaten egg yolks and bake it in the oven for almost40-45 minutes, or until it becomes golden-brown.

Now the beef pie is ready to be served, chop it into wedges and serve everybody around.
