Instructions
To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 1/4 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, chives, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Sprinkle ice water over flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time; toss with a fork until moist and crumbly. Press mixture gently into a disk, and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill dough 30 minutes.
To prepare filling, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add beef to pan; saut 8 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.
Remove beef with a slotted spoon; set aside.
Add leek to pan; saut 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 3/4 cup carrot, 1/2 cup celery, and garlic; saute 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Return beef to pan; add rosemary and thyme. Saut 1 minute. Stir in wine; cook 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Stir in 1 1/2 cups beef broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until beef is tender, stirring occasionally.
Combine remaining 3/4 cup broth and 3 tablespoons flour, stirring until smooth; set aside.
Stir in remaining 3/4 cup carrot, remaining 1/2 cup celery, and potato. Cook, covered, 10 minutes. Stir in peas.
Add flour mixture, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to beef mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Transfer mixture to an 11 x 7inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Roll dough out into an 8 x 12inch rectangle.
Place dough over beef mixture, pressing edges to seal.
Cut 5 slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
