In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the cold unsalted butter in cubes into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough starts to come together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef mince and cook until browned.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and potato to the pan. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and parsley, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into rounds using a bowl or pastry cutter (about 6 inches in diameter).
Place a heaping spoonful of the filling onto the center of each round. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semicircle.
Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
Transfer the pasties to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pasties with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
