Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the pastry and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Apply the egg wash just before baking.
Can I freeze it?
Absolutely. Wrap the unbaked puff pastry tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes.
What can I use instead of puff pastry?
Pie crust or crescent roll dough can work, though the texture will be different. Puff pastry gives the flakiest result.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Yes, finely chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach work well—just sauté and drain them before mixing with the beef.
