Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Ground beef
- 50 grams Frozen mixed vegetables
- 0.5 Beef stock cube
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Frozen pastry sheet
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, crumble the ground beef and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir to break up any larger chunks and microwave for another 2 minutes until the beef is fully cooked.
Drain any excess fat from the beef and add the frozen mixed vegetables to the bowl. Microwave for an additional 1 minute to defrost the vegetables slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the half beef stock cube with water until dissolved. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, flour, salt, and black pepper to form a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the bowl with the beef and vegetables. Mix thoroughly, then microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mixture thickens slightly. Set it aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the microwave's convection setting to 200°C (392°F), or preheat a dedicated convection oven if available.
Cut the frozen pastry sheet into a circle slightly larger than the top of a microwavable ramekin or small pie dish. Spoon the cooled beef mixture into the ramekin, filling it almost to the top.
Place the pastry circle over the ramekin and press lightly around the edges to seal. Beat the egg and use it to brush the top of the pastry for a golden finish.
Place the pie in the microwave on the convection setting (or in a regular convection oven) and bake for 8-10 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Carefully remove the pie and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Micro Beef Pie!
