Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in minced meat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped jalapenos, diced carrots, and peas; cook for another 3 minutes.

Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce; stir to combine.

Add thyme and bay leaves; simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Roll out shortcrust pastry and line a pie dish.

Fill with the meat mixture and cover with more pastry, sealing edges.

Make a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
