Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it's no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
-
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir well to combine. This will help thicken the filling.
-
Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a small bowl as a guide, cut out circles from the pastry.
-
Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each pastry circle. Be careful not to overfill.
-
Brush the edges of the pastry circles with the beaten egg. Place another pastry circle on top and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
-
Place the assembled meat pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Allow the meat pies to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious hot or at room temperature.
