Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 150 milliliters Beef stock
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 units Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 unit Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the garlic and grated carrot to the pan, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until the beef is browned evenly, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, beef stock, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

On a clean surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet and fit it into a greased pie dish, trimming any overhang.

Step 8

Spoon the beef and cheese mixture into the prepared pie base, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the filling with the second puff pastry sheet, sealing the edges by pinching or crimping with a fork. Trim any excess pastry.

Step 10

Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden finish during baking. Cut a small vent in the center of the top pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
