Description
Flaky, golden meat pies filled with a savory beef and vegetable mixture, perfect for snacks, lunch, or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced carrots or peas
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add cold butter and blend until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until dough forms, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a skillet, sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Add ground beef, cook until browned. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and flour, then add beef broth and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat to cool.
- Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles large enough for filling.
- Place a spoonful of filling on each circle, fold over, and seal edges with a fork. Cut small slits on top.
- Brush pies with beaten egg and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze unbaked pies for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for a crisp finish. Serve with ketchup, mustard, or gravy.
