Meat pies
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Main
- 400 grams Beef cubes
- 800 grams Puff pastry
Vegetables
- 2 Medium Potato - small cubes
- 9 Garlic cloves - minced
- 1 Onions – chopped
Condiments
- 1 Beef stock cube
- 1 cup Hot water
- 2 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
Spices
- 1 tsp Paprika powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare: Wash the beef, slice it into cubes, and refrigerate until needed. Peel and cube the potatoes. Dice the onions and garlic. Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat, then sauté the onions and garlic until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
- Cook: In a cup, mix hot water with the beef cube, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar until dissolved. Add the beef cubes and half a cup of the mixture to the pot, then incorporate the potatoes and the remaining liquid. Simmer for 20 minutes (longer for tougher beef cuts).
- Bake: If using large puff pastry, cut it into squares. Add two tablespoons of filling to each square, fold into rectangles, and seal edges with a fork. Whisk an egg and brush over the pastries for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 180°C/375°F for 40 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
