About this recipe

Indulge in a richly flavored meat pie with a golden puff pastry crust, combining aromatic herbs and vegetables with a savory beef filling. This delightful dish is perfect for family dinners or cozy gatherings, promising warmth and satisfaction with every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a skillet, brown the beef over medium heat, then drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in peas, broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring to combine. This will thicken the filling.

  6. 6

    Transfer filling to a pie dish. Cover with puff pastry, trim excess, and brush with egg wash.

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.

  8. 8

    Let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's tip

Feel free to adjust the herbs to suit personal taste. Leftover filling makes a great pasta sauce.
