Chop the beef steak and kidney into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a little butter and rice bran oil in a large frying pan until hot.

Add the chopped steak, kidney, and onions to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes.

Crumble 2 beef stock cubes into the pan and stir in 2 cups of water.

Allow the mixture to simmer and evaporate until the liquid reduces.

Add chopped mushrooms to the mixture and cook for another 30 minutes.

Mix 1 tablespoon of corn flour with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the pan to thicken the gravy.

Add a knob of butter to the gravy for shine and flavor.

Let the filling cool while preparing the pastry.

Roll out the puff pastry, making it about 1 cm larger than the pie dish.

Press the pastry into the pie dish and fill with the meat mixture.

Cover with another layer of pastry, crimp the edges, and cut slits on top for steam.

Bake in the oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.
