This freezer-friendly recipe is the ultimate make-ahead comfort food. Tender British beef is braised with mushrooms, carrots, red onion and red wine flavours until meltingly soft, creating a hearty filling that's perfect for chilly evenings. Make the filling in advance and freeze it, then simply defrost, top with pastry and bake whenever you need an effortless dinner or something special for unexpected guests.
