Ingredients:
900g venison steak cut into 2.5cm/1in cubes
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 red onions, peeled and sliced
120g mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
30g plain flour
1 bay leaf
1 orange, zest and juice
1 tbsp redcurrant jelly
300ml chicken stock
340g puff pastry
Salt and pepper
Beaten egg, for glazing
Method:
Heat a tablespoon of the oil and brown the venison in batches until well browned. Keep on one side.
Heat the rest of the oil and cook the onions for five minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for two minutes. Season well and stir in the bay leaf, orange zest and juice, redcurrant jelly and stock.
Bring to the boil, add the meat and simmer gently for 40-50 minutes until the meat is tender. Cool.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Put the meat mixture in a pie dish. Roll out the pastry to make a lid and attach to the dish. Decorate with the pastry trimmings and cut a steam hole in the centre. Glaze with beaten egg.
Bake for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 for 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and risen and the filling is piping hot.
