Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 grams beef mince (ground beef)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef mince. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and diced carrot to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the beef stock while stirring to combine. Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat.
Roll out one puff pastry sheet and place it into a greased pie dish, pressing it into the sides. Trim any excess pastry.
Pour the beef mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the pie with the second puff pastry sheet, sealing the edges by pinching or crimping them together. Trim any excess pastry and cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Quick N Simple Hearty Beef Pie!
