Dice the onion and carrots. Place them in a dutch oven along with garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme. Pour in the beef broth and 1 can or bottle of beer.
Coat the chuck roast with Worcestershire sauce which will work as the binder and then seasoned heavily with beef seasoning. Place the seasoned chuck roast onto a wire rack and place it on top of the filled dutch oven.
Set up the grill for indirect heat at 250 degrees. Slowly smoke the meat for 2 hours or until the meat has a nice visible bark and smoke ring.
Remove the wire rack from the grill, cube up the beef and mix in with the broth. Add some tomato paste and slurry (water & flour mix) to thicken the broth. Place back on the grill for 1 hour. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
For the pie, first blind bake the bottom crust. Lay the dough in a pie dish and make sure it touches the edges. Poke little holes with a fork to help with air flow.
Once the bottom crust is baked, add the meat filling into the pie dish and cover with another layer of raw dough. Press down on the sides to ensure the pie is closed and cut off any extra dough. Make sure to cut slits or poke holes with a fork to allow the steam to escape.
Place it back on the grill for another 15-20 minutes for the top to bake.
