Ground Beef Pie Simple Bisteeya Recipes

AUSSIE MEAT PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot over high heat. Add 1/3 of the beef and brown aggressively all over, then remove. Repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil if needed.
• Turn stove down to medium high. Add garlic and onion, cook 3 minutes.
• Add flour, stir through.
• Slowly add beef stock while stirring constantly. Once flour is dissolved, add wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire, pepper and bay leaves.
• Return beef into pot, cover with lid, adjust heat so it's simmering gently.
• Simmer 1 hr 45 minutes. Remove lid, increase heat slightly and simmer 30 - 45 minutes, stirring regularly, or until beef is fork tender and liquid reduces down to a thickish gravy, just about covering beef (see video). Do not reduce liquid too much - thickens more as it cools & in pie.
• Remove from stove, cover and cool filling (I usually leave overnight).
• Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
• Cut out 6 rounds from the shortcrust pastry, then drape pastry into pie tins - don't stretch and pull pastry, causes shrinkage. (Notes 1 & 6)
• Place pies on tray. Top each pie with large sheets of parchment / baking paper and fill with pie weights (Note 7).
• Bake 20 minutes, remove, then use paper overhang to carefully remove pie weights.
• Return crusts into oven for 5 minutes or until base is light golden and dry (can skip, Note 8). Remove from oven.
• Fill pies with cooled filling, push down to fill. Should be slightly mounded.
• Cut rounds from partially thawed puff pastry - cut them slightly larger than the edge of the cooked pastry bases.
• Brush edge of pie crusts with egg, then place lid on filling, pressing edges to seal puff pastry to the shortcrust pastry.
• Brush lids with egg, then cut a 1cm / 0.5" incision in the middle using a small knife.
• Bake 30 minutes or until deep golden and puffed.
• Devour hot and fresh, topped with tomato sauce or ketchup if desired!
