150ml beef stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

4. Pour in beef stock and simmer until the mixture thickens. Let it cool slightly.

6. Roll out puff pastry. Line the base of your baking tin with one sheet.
7. Spoon in the filling and top with the second pastry sheet.
8. Crimp edges to seal and brush the top with egg wash.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
To keep your crust flaky, make sure the puff pastry stays cold until it hits the oven.
Add a pinch of rosemary or thyme for a deeper herbaceous flavor.
