Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons Cold water
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 large Onions
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 100 milliliters Beef or vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and a pinch of salt. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add the cold water gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead gently, form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions until soft and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 6

Stir in the beef/vegetable stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Divide the chilled dough in half. Roll out one portion on a floured surface and use it to line a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 8

Spoon the mince and onion filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the remaining dough and use it to cover the pie. Pinch the edges together to seal. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Beat the egg with the milk to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top of the pie.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
