1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
2

Season the venison in a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add flour and toss to coat.
3

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
4

Increase the heat to high and add the venison. Stir the venison to brown it quickly, 1 to 2 minutes; do not overcook — it should still be rare inside when removed from the pan.
5

Transfer the venison to a large bowl.
6

Pour the red wine and Worcestershire sauce into the pan and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid has reduced and the pan is almost dry, 10 to 15 minutes.
7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the beef broth.
8

Dissolve the cornstarch in water in a small bowl; pour it into the pan while whisking constantly.
9

Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
10

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery and cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
11

Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse the vegetables in a bowl of ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking. Drain.
12

Add the drained vegetables to the venison along with the corn and peas; mix until well combined.
13

Whisk the egg and milk together in a small bowl to make an egg wash and set aside.
14

Line the prepared pie dish with one pastry, trimming the edges if needed. Add the venison mixture to the pie crust and pour the gravy over the top.
15

Spread the mushrooms over the surface and cover with the remaining pastry. Brush with the egg wash and cut vents in the top.
16

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
17

If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil until the center crust catches up.
18

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
