Cooking Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering, about 2 minutes.
- Pat dry the beef chunks with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
- Add diced onions to the pan, stirring until they soften, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking to combine. Return the seared beef and add thyme. Simmer covered for 30-40 minutes.
- Incorporate diced carrots and cook for an additional 10 minutes, then stir in the green peas during the last few minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the filling to a deep baking dish.
- Roll out the puff pastry to fit over your dish. Lay it atop the filling and cut slits in the center for steam to escape. Brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and puffed up. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, serve with a side of mixed greens for a fresh contrast, and ensure to pat the beef dry before searing for optimal flavor.
