1 teaspoon oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
300g chuck steak, diced
1 x 185g can (½ can) tomatoes
2 Tablespoons tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
80g frozen peas
4 sheets ready rolled puff pastry

Pre-heat oven to 200 C for 15 minutes.
Place sauté pan over a medium heat, cook onion, garlic in the oil until soft. Add beef and cook for a further 20-30 minutes or until meat is tender.
Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire Sauce and peas, and cook for 10 minutes, set aside to cool.
Cut 12 pastry rounds using an 8.5cm cutter, and 12 rounds with a 6.5cm cutter.
Place the Flexibake Pan on an oven tray. Press the large pastry rounds into the base of the Flexibake Pan moulds.
Spoon beef mixture into the cups until almost full, gently pressing down. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg, and place the 6.5cm pastry on top as lids. Press down lightly to seal the pies, and brush with egg.
Cut a small slit into the top of each pie, to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from Flexibake Pan immediately and cool on wire rack.
