Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released most of their moisture, about 8 minutes.
Add the vegetarian beef mince to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste, then sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the vegetable stock and soy sauce, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit a pie dish, pressing gently into the corners and sides.
Fill the pastry-lined dish with the mushroom and mince mixture, ensuring an even layer.
Cover with the second pastry sheet, crimping the edges to seal, and trim any excess pastry.
Brush the top with milk or plant-based milk to ensure a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Beef and Mushroom Pie!
