Ingredients

2 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper
1 small head cabbage, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
½ cup melted butter

Steps:

Saute beef, onion and garlic, salt and lemon pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat, until beef is browned. Add cabbage, Worcestershire sauce and caraway seeds. Cook until cabbage is limp; drain liquid from mixture.

On a lightly floured board, roll each loaf of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Spoon cabbage/beef filling onto center of each dough piece, dividing equally. Pull three points of each wedge up to the center and pinch to seal. Place bierocks on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water).

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a variety of beef, such as chuck roast, rump roast, or sirloin steak.
Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Use a good quality beer that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer will give the pies a richer flavor, while a light beer will make them lighter and more refreshing.
Don't skimp on the vegetables. They add flavor and texture to the pies.
Be sure to season the pies well. Salt, pepper, and garlic are a good starting point.
If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one.
Bake the pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

Beef and beer pies are a delicious and hearty meal that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give beef and beer pies a try.
