Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Dice the peeled potato, carrot, and onion into small, roughly equal-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the diced potato, carrot, frozen peas, and flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes to coat the vegetables and meat with the flour.
Pour in the beef stock and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef and vegetables are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Unroll one sheet of pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.
Spoon the cooled filling evenly into the pie crust.
Cover the filling with the second sheet of pre-made pie crust. Trim any excess, then pinch and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust evenly with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
