  2. Using a fine-mesh strainer, drain your Irish stew to eliminate excess liquid.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together one large egg and a splash of water to create your egg wash.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning over your drained stew.
  5. Lightly spray your pie tins with canola oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Roll out your puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into shapes that fit your pie tins.
  7. Line your prepared pie tins with the base pieces of pastry.
  8. Brush the edges of the filled pie bases with the prepared egg wash.
  9. Carefully place the top pastry pieces over the filled pie and press down the edges.
  10. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle the black sesame seeds on top.
  11. Place the assembled pies in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes.
  12. Let the Classic Irish Stew Pie rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
