Instructions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5-6 minutes per batch.
- Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes to cook the flour.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to combine and avoid lumps.
- Add the browned beef back into the pot.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juices and stir to combine.
- Add the sliced mushrooms.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the beef is tender and the mixture has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the beef and mushroom mixture into a pie dish.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit over the top of the pie dish. Carefully place the puff pastry over the filling, trimming any excess edges.
- Crimp the edges to seal and make a few small cuts on the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give the crust a golden color.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
