How to Make Beef Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
  2. Roughly chop 1 medium pumpkin (approx. 500g), 1 medium cauliflower (approx. 500g), 1 medium onion (approx. 150g), and 2 cloves garlic. Add to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and 200g sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  4. Increase heat to high. Add 500g lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5 minutes, or until browned.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, roll out 2 sheets of ready-made puff pastry (approx. 22-23cm square each). Use a 13cm cookie cutter or knife to cut out 6 circles from each sheet. Line 6 x 250ml pie plates with pastry rounds. Prick the bases with a fork and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  7. Add 2 large eggs to the cooled beef mixture and mix well to combine.
  8. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the pastry-lined pie plates.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving (approx. 40 minutes).
