Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak on both sides until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the onion and garlic. Stir well to coat and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the coconut milk, shredded dairy-free cheese, and thyme. Cook until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.
Slice the seared steak thinly against the grain and add it to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
Roll out the thawed dairy-free puff pastry to fit your pie dish. Line the bottom of the dish with the pastry, trimming any excess.
Spoon the steak and cheese filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Place another sheet of puff pastry over the top of the pie, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork. Trim excess pastry.
Brush the top of the pastry with plant-based milk to encourage browning.
Use a knife to make a few small slits in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
