Prepare the Pastry
  1. Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 cup of cold diced butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl. Blend until coarse crumbs form.
  2. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough holds together. Shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Filling
  1. In a skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl, leaving drippings in skillet.
  2. Keep drippings warm to develop rich flavors for the filling.
Sauté the Vegetables
  1. Add 1 finely diced onion, 1 diced carrot, and 1 diced celery stalk to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
Create the Flavor Base

  2. Return cooked beef to skillet and mix thoroughly with vegetables and sauce.
Add Broth and Herbs
  1. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and add 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme and 2 bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

  2. Cover with second pastry disk, crimp edges, and cut slits for ventilation.
