# Ingredients:

01 - 1 onion, chopped small
02 - 1 pound minced beef
03 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
04 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
06 - 1 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste
07 - 1 cup beef stock
08 - 2 medium potatoes, diced after peeling
09 - A pinch of salt and pepper
10 - 1 cup frozen green peas
11 - 2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry
12 - 1 egg, lightly whisked for glaze

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on the oven and set it to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Cook ground beef in a big pan on medium until it's browned. Toss in garlic and onion, cooking until soft.
03 - Stir in cubed potatoes and let them cook for 5 minutes.
04 - Mix in thyme, tomato paste, a bit of salt, and pepper. Sprinkle flour over it and stir well.
05 - Slowly stir in the beef broth, letting it cook until it gets nice and thick, which should take 5 minutes.
06 - Stir frozen peas into the mixture then take it off the heat and cool slightly.
07 - Flatten one sheet of puff pastry with a rolling pin and lay it snugly in a pie dish.
08 - Spoon the cooled beef and potato filling into the prepared dish.
09 - Drape the second pastry sheet over the pie. Trim any extra bits around the edges.
10 - Brush the top pastry with the egg wash. Cut a few small vents into the top so steam can escape.
11 - Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling bubbles.

# Notes:

01 - Enjoy a comforting Irish pie filled with savory beef, soft potatoes, and a deliciously flaky crust.
02 - Mix things up by adding your favorite vegetables or spices for a personal touch.
