Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef chuck, diced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Carrot, diced
• 2 Celery stalk, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 500 milliliters Low sodium beef broth
• 125 milliliters Red wine (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 2 Bay leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Peas, frozen
• 1 sheet Ready-made puff pastry
• 1 Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced beef and brown it on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and add the low sodium beef broth, red wine (if using), and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the dried thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once the beef is tender, stir in the frozen peas and let them cook in the stew for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the beef stew into an oven-proof pie dish.

Step 10

Roll out the puff pastry and cover the pie dish, trimming any excess. Press the edges to seal and create small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give it a glossy finish.

Step 12

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
