  TOSS THE MEAT with the flour and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet over
  high heat until nearly smoking. Add the meat in batches and without
  crowding, brown well on all sides. Remove pieces as they are done and
  reserve on a plate. Discard the cooking fat and reduce heat to low. Add
  onion, celery, turnip and carrot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the
  garlic and wine, raise the heat and cook, uncovered, until the wine has
  reduced to almost nothing. Add the stock and continue to cook until reduced
  by about 2/3. Add the peas to the skillet and replace the meat and any
  juices that have collected on the plate. Add the salt and sage. Place in
  refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a
  9-inch pie dish with your pastry and pour in the meat, vegetable and sauce.

  Cover the top of the pie with the rest of your pastry. Poke a few holes in
  the top to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush lightly with egg.
  Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
