Newhalen Moose Pie

2 lb. Moose or beef, cut into 1" cubes
1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
3 T. shortening or vegetable oil
1 C. chopped onion or 1/2 C. dried onion flakes
1 C. carrots, sliced 1/4" thick
1/4 tsp. Thyme
1 1/2 C. beef stock or 4 Bouillon cubes in 1 1/2 C. water
2 T. Worcestershire (opt)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 pie crust dough or mix your favorite dough
1 egg, beaten

Shake pieces of meat in sack with flour and salt. Add oil or shortening
to Dutch oven and place on medium heat. Brown about half the meat
at a time and remove to another dish. When all meat is browned
return it to Dutch oven and combine it with onions, Worcestershire,
and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hrs. Pour
mixture into a 9"x9" square baking pan and cover with pie crust.

Trim and flute edges and pierce crust in several places to allow steam
to escape. Brush top with beaten egg. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 25
minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Yield: 4 servings.
