Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Add the diced deer meat to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.

  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Season with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  5. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the deer meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.

  6. Transfer the deer meat filling to a baking dish or pie dish, spreading it evenly.

  7. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of your baking dish.

  8. Carefully place the puff pastry over the deer meat filling, tucking in the edges to seal the pie.

  9. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, flaky finish.

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

  11. Place the Deer Meat Pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

  12. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
