Description
A savory delight featuring flaky, buttery pastry filled with a rich beef and vegetable mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 small potato, diced (optional)
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tsp fresh chopped)
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp flour (to thicken)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed but cold)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
- Pinch of flaky salt (optional)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for topping
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef; cook until browned, breaking it apart. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Add mixed vegetables and diced potato. Season with thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir.
- Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and fit it into the bottom of your baking dish. Trim edges but leave slight overhang. Lightly prick the bottom with a fork. Optional: Pre-bake for 8 minutes for an extra crisp base.
- Add the entire beef & vegetable mixture into the dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Roll out the second pastry sheet slightly and lay it on top of the filling. Press edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to score a criss-cross diamond pattern on the surface.
- Brush the entire surface with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt and herbs.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is deeply golden, puffed, and crisp. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes
- Filling should be thick, not watery to prevent a soggy pastry bottom.
- Optional: Pre-bake the pastry base for extra crispiness.
- Let the pie rest before cutting for easier serving.
