Ingredients

• 2 sheets pre-made pie crust
• 400 grams ground beef
• 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 100 grams frozen peas
• 125 milliliters beef stock
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Dice the peeled potato, carrot, and onion into small, roughly equal-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 5

Stir in the diced potato, carrot, frozen peas, and flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes to coat the vegetables and meat with the flour.

Step 6

Pour in the beef stock and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef and vegetables are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Unroll one sheet of pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.

Step 8

Spoon the cooled filling evenly into the pie crust.

Step 9

Cover the filling with the second sheet of pre-made pie crust. Trim any excess, then pinch and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust evenly with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
