Instructions

1. In a heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and brown beef stew meat on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened, then stir in garlic.

3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes.

4. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring, then add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.

5. Return beef to the pot and simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until beef is tender. Stir in peas.

6. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spoon hot filling into a pie dish. Lay the pastry on top and crimp the edges. Cut small slits in the top to vent.

7. Brush with egg wash and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold pastry to ensure a crisp, flaky top.

You can make the filling a day ahead and assemble before baking.

Try adding mushrooms or a splash of red wine for added depth.
