Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 Celery stalks
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 sheet Pastry dough
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly stir in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Stir the cooked ground beef and frozen peas into the skillet. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 8

Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the pie crust. Cover with the remaining pastry dough, crimping the edges to seal. Cut 2-3 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for 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 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
