Ingredients
- 1 Pound ground beef
- 8 ounces white cheddar Shredded
- 1 Package Puff Pastry Sheets (2 sheets) about 1 pound
- 1 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoons olive oil
- black sesame seeds
Filling
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 14 ounces beef broth
- 2 Tablespoons tomato Paste
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon marmite
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Cook the onion until softened, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in the beef and cook until browned. Stir in the flour and mix in well being careful not to burn the flour.
- Add in the beef stock/broth. Bring to a boil. Add in the remaining ingredients and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes then remove from the heat.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut out the pastry to size. You should be able to get 3 bottoms and 3 tops from each roll of puff pastry.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the pastry bottoms in each mini pie pan. Cover the bottom with cheese then divide the meat mixture evenly among each pie. Top the meat mixture with more shredded cheddar.
- Place a round of puff pastry on top of each pie and crimp the top and bottom dough together with a fork. Cut slits in the top of each pie with a sharp knife. Brush the top of each pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with black sesame seeds, if desired.
- Bake the pies for 30-40 minutes, until the pastry has puffed up and is golden brown.
