As the weather gets colder, everyone wants to indulge in comfort food. We suggest revisiting the classic meat pie to give it an unparalleled touch of refinement thanks to the best meat in the world, wagyu beef. It is generously marbled and melt-in-your-mouth tender. With the help of our pure butter shortcrust pastry rounds, your pie will be ready to bake in record time. Go ahead, treat yourself and cook this comforting delight!
Chef's tip: Let the mixture cool before putting it in the dough. This prevents the dough from getting soggy due to condensation and allows you to get a nicely baked bottom crust.
Preparation : 20 minutes
Cooking : 50-55 minutes
Yield : 4-6 servings
Ingredients :
2 all butter shortcrust pastry rounds Cool&Simple
454g (1lb) Wagyu ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
5mL (1tsp) olive oil
1 small potato, diced
15mL (1 tbsp) water or chicken broth
30mL (2 tbsp) breadcrumbs
1 pinch each clove, cinnamon, nutmeg
1 egg, lightly beaten
Preparation:
Thaw the Wagyu beef for 24h in the refrigerator.
Thaw the short crust pastry ahead of time by leaving it a room temperature for about 1h.
In a large frying pan, sweat onions and garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat until slightly translucent (about 2 minutes).
Add beef and continue cooking, stirring to crumble meat, for 8-10 minutes or until well done. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Let cool.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate to chill the filling, about 1-2 hours. To cool more quickly, divide into several small containers.
Place rack in bottom of oven and preheat oven to 375F.
Unroll the pastry in a pie plate and press it well into the dish.
Spread the meat mixture on top and cover with the second layer of pastry. Pinch the edges well to seal the pie.
Using a knife, make an incision in the center of the top pastry to allow the cooking steam to escape.
Brush crust with beaten egg.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until crust is golden brown.
Enjoy!
