Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups Ice water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Carrot (finely diced)
- 1 medium Potato (peeled and finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, carrot, and potato, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until aromatic.
Step 6
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 8
Add the beef broth and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the filling is thickened. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 10
On a floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or bowl (around 5-6 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.
Step 11
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over to form a semicircle and crimp the edges together with a fork to seal.
Step 12
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Step 13
Place the assembled pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 14
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pies.
Step 15
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit or two on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
Step 16
Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Step 17
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade meat pies!
