Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Herbs and spices (such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika)
Directions
- Prepare the pastry dough by combining flour, butter, and water in a mixing bowl. Knead the dough until smooth, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef with onions and garlic until browned. Add beef broth, carrots, peas, seasonings, and simmer until thickened.
- Divide the pastry dough and roll out for pie crusts. Fill each crust with the meat filling. Cover with a second crust and crimp the edges to seal.
- Brush the pies with an egg wash, then bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the meat pies to cool slightly before serving warm.
