Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 large Celery stalk
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Make the pastry dough: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

Prepare the filling: Finely dice the yellow onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and ground pork until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 6

Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mixture and stir to thicken slightly. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 9

Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently place the dough into the dish, pressing it into the corners.

Step 10

Spoon the meat mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Roll out the second disk of dough and place it on top of the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal and trim any excess dough.

Step 12

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 14

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 15

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