Instructions:

- Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced beef to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme, and cook until the beef is browned and tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix the shredded cheese into the beef mixture.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry slightly if needed.
- Spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto one side of the pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Cut a few slits on the top for steam to escape.
- Bake:
- Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
