Servings: 4
Prep time: 30 min
Cooking time: 20 min 
Directions Cut steak into small cubes and chop all vegetables. Pre-heat oven to 350º F. In a large skillet sauté all vegetables except the peas. Toss about 5 to 10 min until the carrots start soften a little. Season the meat and sprinkle the flour over the meat, place in skillet. Cook until the meat is browned but still rare. then add the wine. Turn off the heat and cover. Line individual baking dishes with pastry crust and spoon 1/4 of the mix into each dish. Cover with another piece of pastry, slit top of the pastry, use any decorative pattern you like. Brush pastry with beaten egg and bake for 20 min or until crust is puffed and golden brown. Cook and drain the peas, toss with a little butter, place on top for decoration when pie is finished baking. Alternative Recipe Ideas You can make this in one large baking dish, but I like it in individual baking dishes like the one pictured. Cross hatching the pastry is also a nice presentation.
