Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Beef Filling:
  • 1 lb beef steak, cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme, chopped
For the Pies:
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prep Ingredients (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Chop and prepare the steak, onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic.
  2. Cook Beef Filling (20 minutes): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Add the onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Let the filling cool.
  3. Assemble Pies (15 minutes): Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut into desired sizes (enough to fold over the filling). Place a spoonful of the beef filling onto one half of each pastry piece. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a small slit on top of each pie for steam to escape.
  4. Apply Egg Wash (2 minutes): Brush the top of each pie with the beaten egg.
  5. Bake (25 minutes): Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve (5 minutes): Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

To ensure the best results, brown the beef well to develop deep flavors. The filling should be cooled before assembling the pies to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

Make sure the edges of the pastry are sealed properly to keep the filling contained during baking. These individual pies are not only delicious but also a convenient and visually appealing way to serve a classic dish. Enjoy!
