Ingredients

1 kg beef
2 tbsp plain flour

2 chopped carrots
3 sprigs thyme
2 tbsp mustard

Steps

Cut the beef into small pieces, toss it with flour, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef for 5 minutes.
Add the onion and carrots, cook for 4 minutes, then stir in the wine, stock, thyme, and mustard.
Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until the beef reaches 145 F, then remove the thyme stems.
Heat the oven to 425 F, cover the skillet with puff pastry, brush it with egg yolks, and cut several vents.
Bake for 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden, while cooking the green beans in water for 6 minutes and tossing them with butter.
