Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth, thickened sauce.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the frozen peas and remove the pan from the heat.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Carefully place the pre-made pie crust over the beef mixture, tucking the edges around the filling. Cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the beaten egg over the pie crust for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm.
