Ingredients for Beef Beer Pies

  • Onions
  • 150g bacon, diced
  • Beef Mince
  • 250g sliced mushrooms
  • Plain Flour
  • Red Wine
  • 200ml beer
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Puff Pastry

How to Make Beef Beer Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large pan, sauté 1 large diced onion and 150g diced bacon until the onion softens and the bacon is cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Add 500g beef mince to the pan and cook until browned. Add 250g sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.
  4. Return the cooked onion and bacon to the pan. Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 100ml red wine and 200ml beer. Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  7. If using a fully enclosed pie crust, allow the filling to cool completely before spooning into the pastry cases to prevent a soggy bottom. For individual pie dishes, spoon the mixture into the dishes.
  8. Cover with your favorite pie pastry and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and well-risen.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy your authentic Aussie Beef Beer Pies!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
