1. 1

   Finely dice 1 onion and sauté in 2 tbsp oil until golden. Add 500 g ground beef and fry for 8–10 minutes, breaking it up until crumbly. Stir in 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in 250 ml beef stock + 2 tbsp tomato paste + 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until thickened.

   ⏱️ approx. 35 min

   💡 Tip: Aussie Meat Pie — another Australian meat pie recipe. Reducing the filling to a thick, creamy consistency is key — a filling that is too runny will make the pastry soggy.

2. 2

   Let the filling cool completely (at least 1 hour in the refrigerator). Roll out or cut 4 sheets of puff pastry (thawed) into bases and lids. Line pie tins or a muffin tin with the pastry. Add the filling.

   ⏱️ approx. 65 min

   💡 Tip: Warm filling will soften the puff pastry before it goes into the oven — always fill cold. Puff pastry layers need cold temperatures to puff up properly.

3. 3

   Place the pastry lid on top and seal the edges firmly. Brush with beaten egg. Bake in the oven at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes until the puff pastry is golden and risen. Serve with tomato sauce (ketchup).

   💡 Tip: Pierce a small hole in the lid to allow steam to escape (prevents a bloated lid). Aussie pies are finger food — eaten with tomato sauce straight from the hand.
