Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Pastry Ingredients
- 1 package Puff Pastry
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Create the Gravy: Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to your desired thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles that will serve as the base and top for your pies.
- Assemble the Pies: Place a circle of pastry into a greased muffin tin, then fill each with the beef and gravy mixture. Top with another circle of pastry and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the tops of the pies with an egg wash for a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Notes
- Chill the Pastry: Keeping the puff pastry chilled before baking helps achieve a flakier texture.
- Don’t Overfill: Make sure not to overfill the pies to prevent spillage during baking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and onions enhance the flavor significantly compared to pre-packaged options.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add spices like paprika or cumin for a unique flavor twist.
