Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Pick the thyme leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
Trim the carrot, then half lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into chunks.
Cut the Beef rump into bite size chunks and set aside.
Place a Large pot on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Toss the beef with flour, salt and pepper until fully coated.
Once hot add the beef to the pot and let it brown on each side 2-3 mins. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook for 4-5 mins. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 mins.
Add the thyme, beef stock, guinness stock paste and 800ml water (Per 2P) and bring to a gentle simmer. Leave the pot to simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half 55-60 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Beat the egg in a small bowl.
Place the meat filling in a oven-proof dish. Trim the pastry to the shape and slightly bigger than the dish you are using.
Brush the rim of the dish the beaten egg, then place the pastry on top, pushing the excess pastry down the outside of the bowl to secure. Lightly score the top of the pastry with a small knife and brush with more of the beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 25-35 mins till the puff pastry is golden brown.
Divide the pie between two plates and serve.
