Speedy Beef and Vegetable Pie
Make this Speedy Beef and Vegetable on a weeknight when time is short or serve it for an easy Sunday lunch with roast potatoes and lots of vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon veg or olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 500 grams beef mince
- 500 grams frozen mixed vegetables I didn't have any so used diced carrots
- 25 grams onion gravy powder didn't have any of that either, substitute tbsp flour and beef stock cube
- 320 grams sheet puff pastry
- Milk for brushing I used a beaten egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ Gas 7. Grease a 20cm square ovenproof dish (more deviation from me!). Heat the oil in a saucepan over a high heat. Saute the onion for 3 minutes or until softened. Add the mince and cook for 3 minutes or until browned.
- Add the vegetables, gravy powder and 125mil hot water. (If using flour add a tbsp of flour and cook, stirring for 3 minutes to cook out the starch, crumble in the stock cube then add the water.) Cook stirring for 3 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes but longer if you can.
- Place the pastry sheet over the mince to cover. Tuck the overhanging pastry inwards to form a border around the inside edge of the dish. Score the top of the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush with milk. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned.
Notes
Serve the pie with herbed mash or vegetables. I served my pie with slow-cooked Braised Red Cabbage.
