4. Roll your pieces of beef in some plain flour until lightly covered

5. Next, cook the onion, leek and carrots in olive oil until soft

6. Place your beef in a pan to brown. Once nice and golden on the outside add back in your veg, the leftover marinade and your beef stock

7. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes

8. Transfer to a pie dish and top with your pre-rolled puff pastry. Peirce the top a few times so the pie can breathe whilst cooking!

9. Bake for 40-45 mins until pastry is nice and golden on top. Then it’s ready to serve!
