These iconic Australian Meat Pies are comfort food at its finest! Packed with a flavorful filling of minced beef, onions, carrots, peas, and a rich gravy, all wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry shell. They’re perfect for a cozy meal or a fun, handheld treat.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 lb (450g) ground beef – The main protein for the filling.
1 tablespoon olive oil – For sautéing.
1 large onion (finely chopped) – Adds sweetness and flavor to the filling.
2 garlic cloves (minced) – For additional depth of flavor.
1 medium carrot (peeled and grated) – Adds texture and sweetness.
1/2 cup frozen peas – For a pop of color and sweetness.
2 tablespoons tomato paste – For richness and depth.
1 cup beef broth – The base for the gravy.
1/4 cup flour – To thicken the gravy.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce – Adds savory depth.
1 teaspoon dried thyme – For herby flavor.
Salt and pepper – To taste.
For the Pastry:
1 package store-bought puff pastry (or shortcrust pastry) – For ease, or homemade if preferred.
1 egg (beaten) – For egg wash to give the pastry a golden color when baked.
I always whip these up for my get-togethers. Super easy and affordable, yet they look totally upscale.
