Here is a step-by-step recipe to make meat pie:

Ingredients:
- For the filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or minced meat
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce or tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- For the crust:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (226 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

2. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef or minced meat to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove any excess fat from the skillet.

3. Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, frozen peas, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mix. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust. Add the cold cubed butter and using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

8. Take one portion of the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to fit the bottom of a pie dish.

9. Place the rolled out dough in the pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges.

10. Add the meat filling on top of the bottom crust.

11. Roll out the remaining dough to create the top crust. Place it over the meat filling and seal the edges of the crust together by crimping with a fork or your fingers.

12. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape and prevent the pie from being soggy.

13. Bake the meat pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

14. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade meat pie!
