Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with silicone paper.
  • Mix the vegetables, parsley, seasoning, and enough gravy to bind the mixture together.
  • Roll one pastry piece to 3mm thick and cut a large disc using a dinner plate.
  • Score a smaller circle 3cm from the edge, prick with a fork, and place on the tray.
  • Layer mustard, beef, and vegetables inside the scored circle until ingredients are used.
  • Brush the pastry border with beaten egg yolk.
  • Roll the second pastry piece to 5mm thick and drape it over the filling to seal.
  • Trim excess pastry and use offcuts to create decorative flower shapes on top.
  • Glaze the entire surface with egg yolk and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
  • Serve the hot pithivier with additional warm gravy.
