Instructions

1.Season the beef with salt and pepper.

6.Preheat the oven to 375°F. Transfer the beef mixture to a 9” deep pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cover the dish with the pastry. Cut slits to vent the steam and brush with milk, if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
