How To Make Meat Pie / Meat Pie Beginners friendly Recipe

Start with minced beef in a pot.

Add diced onion and salt to the pot.

Pour in some water and cover the pot to bring it to a boil until well cooked.

Once cooked, sieve the minced beef to separate it from the stock, reserving 2-4 tablespoons of meat stock for later use.

Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the reserved meat stock along with more diced onion and diced carrot.

Mix everything together and add salt to taste, then cover and boil until soft.

In a bowl, add flour and cold water gradually, mixing until combined.

Add the reserved meat stock (2-4 tablespoons) to the flour mixture, along with salt and baking powder, and mix well.

Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead lightly; wrap in clean film to prevent drying out.

Check the potato mixture for softness; once ready, add the boiled minced beef and mix well.

If the mixture is too liquidy, add 1 tablespoon of flour to thicken it and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.

Cut a portion of the dough and roll it out, keeping the rest wrapped for later use.

Use a meat pie cutter or a round bowl to cut out dough shapes.

Place the filling onto the dough, cover with another piece of dough, and seal the edges.

Press down on the edges to create a typical meat pie shape.

Grease a baking pan with butter and arrange the meat pies in it.

For the second shape, roll out more dough and use a cup to cut round shapes, fill, and seal as before.

Egg wash the meat pies with a mixture of 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of water.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the meat pies for 30-35 minutes.
