All you need for the bakes is puff pastry, an egg, finely diced beef, cornflour (or flour) mixed with water, and beef stock. 

Firstly, you need to sizzle the beef in a fry pan until it has browned. 

Then pour on the beef stock and add the cornflour mix, and wait until it has thickened to your taste. 

Next leave to cool, and get working on your pastry.

You’ll need to cut two rectangular pieces of puff pastry - Greggs advises these should be 108mm x 94mm, if you want to be precise.

Egg wash the edges and then spoon your beef filling onto the middle of one of the pastry pieces. 

Add the other pastry rectangle as a lid, and fork the edges, before adding egg wash to the top.

Score six diagonal lines onto the top of the pastry and then put in a preheated oven. 

You’ll need to leave it in the oven for 20 minutes at 200C, or until golden brown and piping hot. 

And voila! You’ll have your very own Greggs bake to tuck into at home.
