Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium, finely diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, finely diced carrot
• 1 medium, finely diced celery stalk
• 100 g frozen peas
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 250 ml beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 large, beaten (for egg wash) egg
• 500 g shortcrust pastry dough

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Once thickened, stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 8

Roll out half of the shortcrust pastry dough to fit the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish. Press the dough into the dish, trimming any excess overhang.

Step 9

Spoon the beef filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Roll out the remaining half of the dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges of the pie by pinching or crimping together the bottom and top crusts. Trim any excess dough.

Step 11

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 12

Brush the top of the crust with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy your Hamburg Pie!
