Cut the beef into cubes, clean the kidney, and dice it into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a pot and sear the beef in batches for 8 minutes.
Turn the kidneys in the same pot for 3 minutes and set aside.
Soften the onions and mushrooms with butter for 7 minutes.
Add the flour and toast for 2 minutes, then add the beef broth gradually while stirring.
Add the beef, kidney, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the filling over low heat for 75 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Cool the filling for 20 minutes and transfer it to a baking dish.
Cover with puff pastry, brush with the egg and milk mixture, and cut a steam vent.
Bake the pie in a 200°C oven for 30 minutes, until puffed and browned.
💡 Tip: Cooling the filling before adding the pastry keeps the puff pastry from sagging and leaking butter in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve 10 minutes after baking with mushy peas, mashed potatoes, and plenty of gravy.
