Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onions and leeks for 4-5 minutes. Add the meat pieces and sauté for another 4-5 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic and wine, bring to a boil, and reduce by 2/3. Pour in the stock and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half. Add the cream and tarragon, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Season and pour into a 2.5-liter casserole dish and let cool. Brush the sides of the dish with a little water, roll out the puff pastry and place it over the dish, pressing down the edges and trimming off any excess. Cut a small hole in the center to allow steam to escape. Place on a baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Beat the egg with a little salt and brush over the puff pastry. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
