Ingredients

500g venison, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced

300ml beef stock

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large pan, heat some oil and brown the venison on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
Gradually add the beef stock, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme, stirring constantly.
Return the venison to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Transfer the venison mixture to a pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry and cover the dish, sealing the edges with the beaten egg.
Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or vegetables.
