Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Cook the Vegetables:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, carrot, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the Beef:
Stir in ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly.
Simmer the Filling:
Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, pepper, and beef broth. Stir well and simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened. Let filling cool completely.
Prepare Pastry:
Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal-sized circles or rectangles.
Assemble the Pies:
Spoon cooled filling onto half the pastry shapes. Cover with remaining pastry, sealing edges with a fork. Cut a small slit on top of each pie for steam.
Bake:
Brush with egg wash. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the filling is fully cooled to prevent soggy pastry.
Bake pies on a preheated baking tray for extra crispiness.
Customize with cheese, or swap beef for lamb, chicken, or turkey.
These pies are great for freezing before or after baking.
