Ingredients:

• 500g beef stew meat, diced into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 200g button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
2. In the same pan, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
3. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they are tender and slightly browned.
4. Return the cooked beef to the pan. Sprinkle flour over the ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.
5. Pour in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the flavors and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
6. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
7. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut them into circles or squares, depending on your preferred pie size.
8. Grease a muffin tin and line each cup with a puff pastry circle or square, pressing gently to fit the shape.
9. Spoon the beef and mushroom filling into each pastry-lined cup, filling it almost to the top.
10. Cover each pie with another puff pastry circle or square and press the edges to seal the pies. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge.
11. Brush the top of each pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
12. Make a small slit on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
13. Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry turns golden and flaky.
14. Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
