  4. In another bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning over your drained stew.

  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.
