Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (or homemade, if preferred)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the diced carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the Seasonings and Flour: Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add Broth and Peas: Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Pie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Add the meat filling to the crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Top with the Second Crust: Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the meat filling. Trim any excess dough and pinch the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve: Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the filling along with the beef broth.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables by adding potatoes, mushrooms, or any other vegetables you prefer.
- If you don’t have pre-made pie crusts, you can easily make your own with flour, butter, and cold water.
- This meat pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
