Ingredients

Scale

1 kg beef steak, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
500 ml beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
500 g puff pastry (store-bought)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the diced beef on all sides and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and sliced carrots until soft (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and stir for an additional minute.
Return the browned beef to the pot and add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until meat is tender and gravy thickens.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Roll out half of the puff pastry on a floured surface until large enough for your baking dish.
Pour filling into the baking dish, cover with rolled pastry, trim edges, seal, and cut slits on top for steam escape.
Brush with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
