Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef

• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 whole Egg, whisked

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, peas, thyme leaves, and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then reduce heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the filling is rich and thickened.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 9

Lay out one puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Use a round cutter or knife to create 4 equal portions for the pie bases.

Step 10

Spoon the beef mixture onto each pastry base, leaving a small border around the edges. Be sure not to overfill.

Step 11

Cut matching tops from the second puff pastry sheet to cover the pies completely.

Step 12

Place the tops over the filling and press the edges together, sealing them with a fork or by pinching the dough.

Step 13

Brush the tops of the pies with the whisked egg for a golden crust.

Step 14

Place the pies onto the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
