Description

This traditional meat pie recipe offers a golden, flaky pastry encasing a rich and hearty savory filling. It is perfect for cozy evenings, family gatherings, or game day, promising comfort in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely diced
  • 2 carrots, grated or diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets (14.1 ounces each) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in grated carrots and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry. Carefully transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Spoon the cooled meat pie filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  9. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry. Place it over the filling, aligning the edges with the bottom pastry.
  10. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges with a fork to seal the meat pie.
  11. Cut several small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the savory meat pie generously with the egg wash.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the meat pie’s crust is golden brown and puffed.
  14. Let the traditional meat pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a richer flavor without excessive grease.
  • Homemade beef stock is preferred, but low-sodium store-bought stock works well.
  • Let the meat pie rest before slicing to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  • For a golden crust, brush generously with egg wash before baking.
  • Feel free to swap ground beef for lamb or turkey for a lighter savory meat pie option.
  • Add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra nutrition and texture.
  • Store leftover savory meat pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Reheat the meat pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through for optimal crispiness.
