Recipe from The Cozy Apron
Savory Meat Hand Pies:
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
- 1 stock celery, finely diced
- salt/pepper
- 4 coves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 TBSP tomato paste
- 2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
- 3 TBSP flour
- 1 1/4 cup beef stock or broth
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 TBSP finely chopped parsley
- 2 packages of puff pastry sheets, frozen
- 1 egg
- flakey salt
Place a large, deep skillet on medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add onions, carrots, celery, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté the veggies until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 60 seconds. Add ground beef, Italian seasoning, white pepper, and a pinch of salt. Break up the ground beef to a fine consistency. Cook until there is no more pink.
Add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir into the beef mixture then sprinkle in the flour and stir until well blended.
Add in the beef stock and diced potato and stir until combined. Cover and allow the filling to gently simmer, just until potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens. About 25 minutes.
To finish the filling, add the fresh herbs. Allow to completely cool.
Once the filling in nearly cooled, take your puff pastry sheets out of freezer and allow them to cool down to room temp. (40 minutes)
When the pastry sheets have thawed, take one sheet at a time and roll out to be 10″x10″. Cut into 4×5 squares. Place the squares onto parchment paper. Add 1/2 cup beef filling into the center and wet the edges of the filled square with a touch of water. Place another pastry square on the top and press edges together to seal. Cut small slits on top to vent. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Remove from freezer, brush the pastry with egg and top off with coarse salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the pies to cool for 10 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
