Here's a warm and hearty pulled beef pie but without all the slow cooking and hard work. In this recipe, we’re using tender pre-pulled beef from our friends at Magills. The pulled beef is cooked in a rich sauce loaded with winter veggies, all tucked under a flaky layer of puff pastry and baked till golden perfection.

Ingredients

Peas

2 Tbsp butter
500g frozen peas

Pie

1 pack vegan flaky puff pastry
2 parsnip, diced 1cm
3 carrot, grated
1 brown onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp butter
1 pack butcher's spices
3 cup milk
600g pulled beef
1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard, optional

Steps

Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). If you don’t have an oven-proof frypan, set aside a large baking dish.
Dice parsnip, grate carrot, and thinly slice onion. Heat oil in a large ovenproof frypan on medium-high heat (see tip). Cook onion, parsnip and carrot for about 6 minutes, until starting to soften. Add butter and butcher's spices and cook for about 2 minutes, until butter is melted. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
Add beef and mustard (if using) to pan, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more milk if you would like a thinner sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer filling to baking dish (if using). Unroll pastry onto a flat surface and lightly score with a sharp knife. Place on top of filling and bake for 15-20 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden.
While pie is baking, bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Cook peas for about 3 minutes, until tender. Drain and return to pot. Stir through butter and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pie with peas on the side.
