Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, carrot, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth, thickened sauce.

Step 7

Add the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the frozen peas and remove the pan from the heat.

Step 8

Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 9

Carefully place the pre-made pie crust over the beef mixture, tucking the edges around the filling. Cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the beaten egg over the pie crust for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm.
