Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the diced deer meat to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
-
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Season with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
-
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the deer meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
-
Transfer the deer meat filling to a baking dish or pie dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of your baking dish.
-
Carefully place the puff pastry over the deer meat filling, tucking in the edges to seal the pie.
-
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, flaky finish.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Place the Deer Meat Pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
