How to Make Australian Meat Pies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Brown the mixture, breaking up the beef with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute more.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grill seasoning, and 1 cup beef broth.
- Pour the tomato mixture into the skillet with the meat and stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let the meat mixture cool slightly while you prepare the pastry.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
- Roll out your store-bought or homemade pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 12 squares (approximately 4 inches each).
- Brush the edges of each pastry square with egg wash.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled meat mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold the pastry squares into triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
- Place the pies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve immediately with your favorite ketchup or dipping sauce.
