Aussie Meat Pies
- Replies 9
We gave you an ANZAC Biscuit recipe this morning, which we encourage you to make today to commemorate ANZAC Day, plus, they are a great dessert after dinner! But we thought, for dinner tonight, why don’t we give you members a classic Aussie recipe: Aussie Meat Pies. A big thanks to Taste for this delicious recipe!
Ah, meat pies. One of my favourite meals in the world. So, how can you whip some up in about an hour and 15 minutes? By following the simple recipe below! Please note, the recipe does serve 8, so if you don’t want to make that many meat pies, either half or quarter the recipe!
Ingredients
900g beef rump steak, trimmed, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
2 rashers middle bacon, trimmed, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp plain flour
2 cups Massel beef stock
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
4 sheets frozen ready-rolled shortcrust pastry, partially thawed, halved diagonally
2 sheets frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, partially thawed, quartered
1 egg, lightly beaten
Tomato sauce (or BBQ), to serve (shout-out to my fellow BBQ sauce lovers)

Method
- Process the steak until the mixture resembles mince. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bacon. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until golden. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned.
- Add tomato paste and flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until combined. Add stock and thyme. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the meat is tender. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line eight 7.5cm round pie moulds with shortcrust pastry. Trim excess. Fill cases with steak mixture. Top with puff pastry. Trim excess. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Using a small sharp knife, cut a small cross in pie tops. Brush with egg. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Serve with your favourite sauce.
