MEAT PIE RECIPES WITH PUFF PASTRY RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir stew meat until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until slightly tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir flour, butter, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into stew meat mixture; cook and stir until flour is dissolved and a gravy is forming, about 2 minutes. Pour beef stock over meat mixture, scraping brown bits of food off the bottom with a wooden spoon; cook until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Mix milk and rosemary into stew meat-gravy mixture; continue cooking over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir peas into mixture.
• Pour stew meat-gravy mixture into individual pot pie pans or a 12-inch cast iron skillet; top with puff pastry, crimping the sides of the pastry down tightly. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden, 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Take the frozen puff pastry out of the freezer in advance and thaw it in the fridge overnight.
• Preheat oven at 350ºF/180°C.
• In a deep bowl, combine ground beef with thinly chopped onion and pressed garlic.
• Peel potatoes and grate them into the bowl with minced meat using a coarse grater.
• Season filling for your pie with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Thoroughly stir the mixture until well combined.
• Take a baking pan with a rectangular shape and cover it with parchment paper. Roll out 1 package of puff pastry on a floured surface and divide it into two parts (for the top and bottom). Now, take one part of the pastry and drape it over the baking pan. Press it in carefully.
• Turn all the stuffing into the baking pan. Even out the mixture with a spoon.
• Take the second half of puff pastry to cover the pie with it, thoroughly pressing every corner and edge of the pie.
• Separate egg yolk from the white. Nicely whisk egg yolk and brush the pie for a nice glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the surface.
• Bake the savory pie for 50 minutes. Do not worry! This time will be enough to cook through the stuffing and the baking temperature is not too high to burn the puff pastry.
• Let the pie cool down a bit before serving! Cut into slices of preferred size and enjoy your meal!
