Minced Beef Pie
Method
Step 1
Prep: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dice the carrots.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mince and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often to break it up, until browned all over.
Step 3
Add in the diced carrots and cook for 5 minutes until softened slightly.
Step 4
Stir in the Ballymaloe 100 Recipe Sauce and add the Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. If the consistency seems too thick, add some of the water/stock. Season to taste.
Step 5
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until it is slightly bigger than the pie dish.
Step 6
Pour the mince filling into a pie dish and lay the puff pastry over the top. Trip any excess and crimp the edges. Brush the top with beaten egg and cut 2-3 small steam slits into the puff pastry.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and puffed.
