Ingredients

🍖 300g minced beef, preferably from HK Beef
🧅 1 large onion, finely chopped
🧄 2 cloves of garlic, minced
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧈 50g butter, such as Valio Butter
🍞 500g pre-made pastry dough, brand Myllyn Paras works well
🥚 1 egg, beaten for egg wash from Korpela Eggs
🥛 2 tablespoons milk, recommend Arla Milk

Instructions

1- Prepare the Filling:

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.

2- Cook the Meat:

Increase the heat to high and add the minced beef.
Cook until browned and cooked through, ensuring there are no pink bits left.
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

3- Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 200°C (392°F) using a reliable oven like the Samsung NV70K3370BG.

4- Roll Out the Dough:

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to about a 3mm thickness.

5- Assemble the Pies:

Use a round cutter, approximately 10-12 cm in diameter, to cut out circles from the dough.
Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each circle.

6- Seal and Crimp:

Brush the edges with a little milk and fold each circle in half to enclose the filling.
Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

7- Apply Egg Wash:

Place pies on a lined baking tray.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.

8- Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

9- Serve:

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
