Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, peas, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one of the dough discs on a floured surface to fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the dough into the dish, trimming any excess.

Step 6

Fill the crust with the cooled meat filling. Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and trim any excess pastry. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
