Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup diced potatoes, small cubes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 half teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step By Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Add ground beef to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Spread it out and bake for 10 minutes.

3. Remove the pan from the oven. Stir the beef and add onion and garlic. Bake for 5 more minutes.

4. Add carrots, potatoes, peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well to mix everything.

5. Sprinkle flour over the mixture. Stir until no dry spots remain.

6. Pour in beef broth and tomato paste. Stir gently. The filling should look saucy and glossy.

7. Lay puff pastry over the filling. Trim edges if needed. Brush with beaten egg.

8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.

9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it cools.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Do not overcrowd the pan. Use a large sheet pan so the filling cooks evenly.
  • Do not skip the flour. It helps thicken the sauce.
  • Do not cut the potatoes too large. Small cubes cook best.

Tips For Success

  • Use lean ground beef to avoid extra grease.
  • Stir well after adding flour so it does not clump.
  • Check the crust near the end. Cover loosely with foil if it browns too fast.
