Ingredients
For the Savoury Mince
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 brown or yellow onion diced
- 1 carrot peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour or plain flour
- 1 potato peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup frozen peas
For the Pasties
- 3 sheets frozen puff pastry
- 1 egg lightly whisked
Instructions
- Prepare the savoury mince according to the recipe instructions. Ensure the mixture is thick and not watery before using it as a filling.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Line two baking trays with baking paper or silicone baking mats.
- Remove the puff pastry sheets from the freezer.
- Separate the pastry sheets and allow them to partially thaw until pliable but still cold.
- Using a round cookie cutter or wide-mouth mug, cut 4 rounds from each puff pastry sheet.
- Place the pastry rounds on a clean work surface.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of savoury mince into the center of each pastry round.
- Brush the edges of each pastry round lightly with the whisked egg.
- Fold each pastry round in half to form a semi-circle.
- Press the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Crimp the sealed edges with your fingers or a fork to secure each pasty.
- Transfer the pasties to the prepared baking trays, placing them upright and leaving space between each one.
- Brush the tops with additional egg wash if a more golden finish is desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pasties are golden, puffed, and cooked through.
- Remove the trays from the oven.
- Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be hot.
- Serve warm.
Notes
To make these Beef Pasties gluten free, use gluten-free puff pastry in place of regular puff pastry.
Replace the all-purpose flour in the savoury mince with gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot starch.
Use gluten-free beef stock and confirm that the Worcestershire sauce is certified gluten free.
Check that the tomato paste, frozen peas, and seasonings are labeled gluten free.
Prepare the pasties on a clean surface with clean utensils to avoid cross-contamination.
