Australian Meat Pie
Classic Australian meat pie with tender minced beef in rich gravy, wrapped in golden flaky pastry - the iconic comfort food of Australia.
📖 Descripción
The Australian meat pie is a national icon, featuring savory minced beef slow-cooked in a rich gravy with onions, then encased in golden, flaky shortcrust and puff pastry. Originating from British meat pies, the Aussie version is larger, juicier, and often topped with tomato sauce. Perfect as a hearty meal any time of day, this comfort food is found in bakeries, football stadiums, and family homes across Australia.
👨🍳 Preparación
-
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
2
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the minced beef and brown it, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
-
3
Sprinkle the flour over the meat and stir well for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste and help thicken the gravy.
-
4
Gradually pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce, then add the thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens into a rich gravy, then let it cool slightly.
-
5
Line a small pie tin (about 12 cm) with the shortcrust pastry, trimming the excess and pricking the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
-
6
Fill the pastry shell with the cooled meat filling, leaving a small border at the top to seal with the top layer.
-
7
Cover with the puff pastry, seal the edges by pressing firmly with a fork, and cut 2-3 small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
8
Brush the top generously with the beaten egg yolk to achieve a beautiful golden, glossy finish.
-
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown, puffed and crisp.
-
10
Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot topped with a spoonful of tomato sauce on the crust.
