Add mushrooms, rosemary, tomato paste and flour, stir to combine and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add beef stock and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper, reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes or until beef is tender. Stir through parsley and peas and allow to cool.

Trim edges and secure pastry by pressing down edges firmly using a fork. Mix egg yolk and milk together and brush over pastry. Pierce the top of the pie and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
