Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Beef: Cut the beef chuck roast into medium-large pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat cooking oil in a Dutch oven and brown the beef in batches for 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Remove beef and add chopped onions, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and developing color.
  3. Simmer: Return beef to pot, add beef stock, chopped parsnips, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2.5 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  4. Cool Filling: Remove pot from heat and let mixture cool for 15-20 minutes to prevent soggy pastry.
  5. Prepare Puff Pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F. Thaw puff pastry, roll it out, and place over the cooled beef filling, sealing edges.
  6. Egg Wash: Whisk egg with a splash of water and apply over pastry for a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Place pie in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Cool briefly before serving.

For best results, use organic beef and do not skip the egg wash for a beautiful finish. Let the filling cool before adding the pastry to avoid sogginess.
