This recipe provides a delicious take on the traditional Australian Meat Pies.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2.In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and butter together. Add the onions, green pepper, and ground beef, and cook until the beef is browned and the veggies are soft. Stir in the flour, grill seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3.Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, and beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until mixture thickens and resembles a gravy. Set aside to cool.
4.On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets until they’re about 1/8-inch thick. Using a large round cookie cutter or glass, cut circles out of the pastry.
5.Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto half of each pastry circle. Fold the other half over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal them. Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits into the top of each pie.
6.In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
7.Bake the pies for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
