Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Mix in the tomato paste and flour, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat.
Roll out the dairy-free pie crust if necessary and line the bottom of a pie dish with one half of the crust.
Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Cover the filling with the second half of the pie crust, sealing the edges by pinching together with the bottom crust.
Cut a few slits into the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with water, and brush over the pie crust for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
