Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 300 grams lean beef steak, finely diced
- 150 grams potato, finely diced
- 100 grams carrot, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 egg
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of black pepper. Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Gradually add the water to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until it forms a firm dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Step 4: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced beef, potato, carrot, and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Stir in the dried thyme and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 5: Remove the pastry dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thickness.
Step 6: Using a round plate or bowl as a guide, cut out 4 large circles from the dough.
Step 7: Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the circles, placing the filling on one half of each circle.
Step 8: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, then fold the dough over to cover the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
Step 9: Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium classic beef pasty!
