How to Make Aussie Meat Pie

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion. Brown 500g ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add 3/4 cup (180ml) water, 2 beef stock cubes, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water until smooth.
  4. Stir the flour mixture into the meat mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  5. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  6. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate. Line the plate with your choice of shortcrust pastry (approximately 1 sheet).
  7. Spoon the cooled meat filling into the pastry-lined pie plate.
  8. Moisten the edges of the bottom pastry with water.
  9. Top with a sheet of puff pastry (approximately 1 sheet), pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  10. Trim and crimp the edges decoratively. Cut several slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
  11. Brush the top pastry with milk or egg wash for a golden glaze.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for a further 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
