Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt.

Add 1 large clove of chopped garlic and let it soften, not brown.

Add 2 stalks of chopped celery, 3 chopped small carrots, and 1 medium chopped red onion; stir to combine.

Add 1.5 cups of chopped mushrooms and stir.

Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir to create a roux with the vegetables.

Add 1 pound of brisket pieces and stir to combine.

Add 2 cups of halved small potatoes.

Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 0.5 cup of red wine; stir to combine.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 0.5 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt; mix well.

Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to scrape the fond from the bottom.

After about an hour, check the filling; if it needs more liquid, add more beef stock as necessary.

After simmering, remove from heat and let cool uncovered for 1.5 hours.

If needed, refrigerate the filling overnight and reheat before using.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Grease a 9-inch cast iron pie pan with butter.

Place the bottom pie crust in the pan, pressing it against the edges.

Poke small holes in the bottom crust with a fork to release steam.

Fill the crust with the brisket filling.

Cover with the top pie crust, pressing the edges together and trimming excess.

Apply an egg wash to the top crust if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
