Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a pie dish or baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  2. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the minced beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.

  3. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the skillet and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Stir in the tomato paste, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the flavors have melded together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  5. Lay one sheet of puff pastry into the prepared pie dish, making sure it covers the base and sides. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.

  6. Spoon the cooked minced beef mixture evenly into the pastry-lined dish.

  7. Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling. Seal the edges of the pastry sheets together by crimping with a fork.

  8. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish when baked.

  9. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

  10. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

  11. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into generous portions and enjoy.
