House Made Pie and a Half
Ingredients
- 20 Ready Bake 125mm Savoury Pie Shells and Puff Pastry Tops (PBTD)
- 100ml cooking oil
- 2 brown onions - diced
- 4 garlic cloves - chopped
- 3kg rump steak - diced
- 280g tomato paste
- 5L tap water
- 1L tap water
- 700g Maggi Classic Rich Gravy Mix
- 300g cornflour
- 2 eggs
- 150ml milk
Method
- Add the cooking oil into a cooking pot and heat until almost smoking.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry off until brown.
- Add the beef and allow to cook for 20 minutes, add tomato paste, then add the 5L of water.
- Simmer the mix until tender.
- Mix the 1L of tap water with the Maggi Classic Rich Gravy Mix and cornflour.
- Turn off the heat and whisk gravy slurry into the pie mix.
- Let mixture sit until cool, then place in cold room/ refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 210-215°C. Place Savoury Pie Shells and Puff Pastry Tops onto a baking tray to thaw to room temperature.
- Take pie mixture out of the fridge and bring to room temperature before filling the pie shells.
- Submerge puff tops into water to wash away any rice flour (this ensures the pie top seals to the pie bottom).
- Place puff tops on pie shells and brush with beaten egg and milk. Then using a pair of scissors, create a steam hole on top of each pie.
- Bake in pre-heated 210-215°C oven for approximately 18-20 minutes.
