How to Make Australian Meat Pie
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
- In a large skillet, brown 500g ground beef and 1 large onion (chopped) over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in ¾ cup (175ml) water, 2 beef bouillon cubes, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup (60ml) water and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Stir the flour mixture into the meat mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
- Grease a 20cm (8-inch) pie dish. Line the dish with 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry (approximately 250g).
- Pour the cooled filling into the pastry-lined dish.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with milk or beaten egg.
- Top with a second sheet of puff pastry. Crimp the edges to seal, pressing firmly with a fork.
- Trim any excess pastry.
- Brush the top with milk or beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for a further 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite sides – vegetables, fries, or a fresh salad!
