Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups Ice water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Carrot (finely diced)
- 1 medium Potato (peeled and finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into two portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, carrot, and potato, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until aromatic.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Add the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the filling is thickened. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or bowl (around 5-6 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over to form a semicircle and crimp the edges together with a fork to seal.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Place the assembled pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pies.
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit or two on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade meat pies!
