Steak, Mushroom and Smoky Bacon Pie
This wholesome pie with a layer of creamy mash is made with chuck steak, which is perfect for slow cooking and is one of the more economical meat cuts. Adding beer to the sauce gives it extra depth of flavour, and the smoky bacon and woody scent of mushrooms add to the complexity.
