Heat a dutch oven and add the olive oil. Add the meat and sauté until brown on all sides.

Lower the heat, add the onions to the pan, and sauté for a few minutes until they are soft and lightly browned.

Add the carrots, button or chestnut mushrooms, garlic, and sauté for a few more minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, then sprinkle on the flour. It’s okay if it sticks a little to the bottom of the pan.

Deglaze the pan using the liquid from the porcini mushrooms (if you skipped the porcini mushrooms, add extra beef stock).

Add the stock and bring it to a boil. Gently simmer on low heat for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender.

Rub the flour and butter with your fingertips until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs. Add a little cold water enough to form a dough.

Roll the pastry out on a floured surface big enough to cover the dish. Cover the pie with the pastry, trim off any excess with a knife.

Brush the pastry with egg wash and make some decorations using the leftover pastry.

Cook in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
