Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Add 1 lb ground beef, 8 oz finely chopped button mushrooms, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Cook for 6-7 minutes until beef is browned and mushrooms are softened.
3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to remove raw flavor. Gradually add 1 cup beef broth and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4: Roll out the 2 thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut one sheet into 4 equal squares and place each into a greased muffin tin cup to form the base.
5. Step 5: Spoon the beef and mushroom filling evenly into the 4 pastry-lined cups. Cut the other pastry sheet into 4 squares and place on top, sealing edges by pressing with a fork.
6. Step 6: Brush the tops with 1 beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
