Cook time: 250 min
Total time: 54 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 2 Celery; 1 chopped Onion; 2 large Carrots; 5 Bay Leaves; 3 Thyme; 2 tblsp Vegetable Oil; 1 tablespoon Butter; 2 tablespoons Flour; 2 tblsp Tomato Puree; 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce; 2 Beef Stock Cubes; 800g Feather blade beef; 800g Potatoes; 25g Mature Cheddar; 25g Parmesan Cheese

This Cumberland Pie features tender feather blade beef slow-cooked in a rich sauce, topped with rounds of par-cooked potato and a generous scattering of cheese. It’s a hearty dish that comes together with a long, gentle braise in the oven, allowing the beef to become incredibly soft and the sauce to thicken. You can assemble the pie a day ahead and keep it chilled, or even freeze it for later, making it a good candidate for meal prep.
