Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup cold water
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup potatoes, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup rutabaga, peeled and diced
- 1 cup carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white, beaten
Instructions
In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Add olive oil gradually, mixing until crumbly.
Slowly add cold water and mix until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and let it chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add diced potatoes, rutabaga, carrot, onion, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir in thyme, black pepper, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each into a circle about 8 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.
Place a quarter of the filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by crimping.
Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg white.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy beef pasty!
