Store-bought puff pastry and a meat-and-potatoes filling come together as your New Year’s Eve dinner centerpiece. The trick to getting a tender and indulgent filling is to chop a big piece of chuck by hand. The finer you can cut it, the better your result will be. Serve this rich pie with a green salad dressed in a tart vinaigrette.
