Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 500g ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

- Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to combine, cooking for 1 minute.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in frozen peas and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool before using as pie filling.
Tips
- Cool the filling completely before assembling the pie to prevent a soggy crust.
- This filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half the beef with ground pork or lamb.
