Aussie Meat Pies
Australia is famous for Meat Pies which you can buy
anywhere when you fancy a snack. Aussie meat pies are delicious.
Ingredients
500g / 1lb chuck or blade steak
2 tablespoons flour
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1 x 375g / 12 oz packet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Beaten egg to glaze
Directions
Trim gristle and fat from steak, cut into thin shreds, then chop
very finely. Dust with flour, salt and pepper and place in
the top of a double boiler or pudding pan.
Place enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of bowl, simmer
for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Replace water
in saucepan as necessary to maintain level.
Allow to cool completely.
Roll out pastry dough thin and cut 3/4 of it to fit individual
round, oblong or square pie tins. Line tins with dough, and
fill about 3/4 full with meat filling. Cut lids from
remaining dough, dampen edges and put into place .
Cut a vent in the top of each pie for steam to escape. Chill for 15
minutes, then brush with beaten egg. Bake in a preheated hot
oven (200 C / 400 F) for 25 minutes or until pastry is
puffed and golden. Serve with tomato sauce (ketchup).
With Aussie meat pies I would drink a beer instead of
wine.and I would suggest Swan Gold a great lager Australian beer.
