Method

1
Prep the filling
On a cutting board, cube the beef stew meat, quarter the button mushroom, dice the onion, dice the carrot small, beat the egg, and thaw the frozen puff pastry.
2
Brown the beef
Brown the beef stew meat in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat in batches, turning to color the sides; stir in onion, carrot, button mushroom, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
12 min
Tip: Avoid crowding the pot, or the mushrooms and beef will steam instead of brown.
3
Simmer the gravy
Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the pot and stir, then add red wine, beef broth, and thyme; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
25 min
Tip: If the gravy thickens too much before the beef softens, add a splash of broth.
4
Top and bake
Spoon the filling into a baking dish, cover with frozen puff pastry, brush with beaten egg, and bake at 200°C.
28 min
Tip: Make a small vent in the pastry to let steam escape.
5
Taste and serve
Taste the gravy at the edge, adjust with salt and black pepper if needed, and serve the pie warm.
