Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large brown onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
500g lean beef mince
1 small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
5 mushrooms, chopped
1 tbsp cornflour
3/4 cup beef stock
1/3 cup tomato sauce
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp barbecue sauce
1 tsp Vegemite
4 sheets frozen, ready-rolled shortcrust or puff pastry
1 egg yolk
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over high heat and cook the onion and garlic until soft. Add mince and cook until browned, which should take about 4-5 minutes. 2. Add cornflour to the meat and stir in the stock, sauces and Vegemite. When it starts boiling again, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 8 minutes or until thick. Let it cool down. 3. Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease and flour 4 individual round pans to make it non stick. Cut 4 large circles of pastry, just enough to cover the bases and go slightly over the sides of the pans and prick several times with a fork. if you don't have enough space to cut the top circles out of the remaining pastry, knead the remaining dough back into a ball and roll it out flat again on a lightly floured surface. Use one of the pans to shape and cut of the top circles. 4. Fill each base with a fourth of the mince mixture. Brush rims with water and place the top circles over the meat. Press hard to seal the sides and trim the excess of pastry. Brush with the egg yolk. 5. Season with salt & pepper and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meat pie turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it at too high of a temperature.

I made this pie with ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great! It's a healthier alternative to the traditional meat pie.

I'm not a big fan of meat pies, but this one was actually pretty good. The filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky.

This meat pie was just okay. The filling was bland and the crust was soggy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The pie crust was a bit difficult to work with, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend using a store-bought pie crust if you're not experienced in making pastry.

This meat pie was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less salt in the filling next time.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is rich and savory, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

This is the best meat pie I've ever had! The crust was so flaky and the filling was so flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

The instructions were easy to follow and the pie turned out perfectly. I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, but the homemade crust is definitely worth the extra effort.

This meat pie was a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
