1

Coat 800 grams of stewing steak in flour, salt, and black pepper.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot and brown the coated steak.

3

Chop 1 onion into big chunks, slice 3 large mushrooms, and chop 3 carrots into circles.

4

Add the chopped vegetables to the pot and sauté until moisture starts to come out of the mushrooms.

5

Add 3/4 cup of beef stock and 1/4 cup of beef stock to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom.

6

Pour the mixture into a bowl and place it in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 45 minutes to an hour.

7

Separate 2 eggs, keeping the whites and yolks in separate bowls.

8

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, and a teaspoon of salt, then mix until smooth and refrigerate for 45 minutes.

9

Prepare boiled new potatoes and sauté baby leeks in olive oil and butter on low heat for about 20 minutes.

10

After 45 minutes, check the pie mixture; it should be tender but still chewy.

11

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.

12

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and pour the batter over the pie mixture.

13

Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then lower the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for an additional 20 minutes.

14

Caramelize the sautéed leeks with a splash of Guinness and a sprinkle of sugar.
