Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 cup Gluten-free beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Mixed herbs
• 2 Gluten-free puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, crumbling the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 4

Stir in the gluten-free beef stock and tomato paste, then bring to a simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add this to the beef mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Season the filling with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out the gluten-free puff pastry to fit a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 8

Line the pie dish with one sheet of the rolled-out pastry, allowing the edges to overhang slightly.

Step 9

Spoon the beef mixture into the pie crust, and sprinkle evenly with grated cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Cover the pie with the second sheet of pastry. Trim the edges and seal by crimping with a fork.

Step 11

Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape, then brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
