  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 stick celery, thinly sliced
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced- portabello are best if you can get them
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • ½ tsp brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp cornflour
  • 100ml pale ale

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C (400°F) Gas Mark 6
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan, add the onion, carrot and celery and fry gently for 2-3 minutes until softened and starting to brown, then add the mushrooms and the garlic and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes until the mushrooms have softened. Toss in the Quorn Vegetarian Steak Strips and stir all of these ingredients together
  3. Add the brown sugar and cornflour and continue to cook gently for a minute, then add the pale ale, crumbled stock cube, tomato purée, yeast extract, and herbs
  4. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until the sauce is thickened and bubbling. Season to taste. If the sauce is a little too thick, add 2 tbsp of water
  5. Place the steak and mushroom filling into an ovenproof dish, moisten the edges of the dish with a little beaten egg, cover with puff pastry, trim the edges and glaze with a little more beaten egg and pop into the oven, for 20 minutes until the pastry is golden
  6. Serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables of your choice

Can this be reheated to eat the next day to save wasting leftovers?

Response from Quorn

Hi James, of course...we wouldn't want to you to waste any of this delicious pie :) When you use Quorn products in homemade recipes like cottage pie, they are perfectly safe to re-heat if they’ve been kept nice and cool in the fridge and are eaten within 24 hours. If you can resist them for that long that is!
