Instructions

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Brown them in a dry frying pan with the minced beef over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat well.
  2. Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt and pepper, then sprinkle over the flour and stir.
  3. Pour in the stock little by little and let it thicken over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes until you have a moist but not runny filling. Let it cool completely.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Unroll the pastry and cut out 12 discs about 10 cm wide using a cutter or a bowl.
  5. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of 6 discs, moisten the edges with water, then cover with the other 6 discs and seal by pressing with a fork.
  6. Arrange the pies on a tray lined with baking paper. Mix the egg yolk with the milk and brush the tops.
  7. Make a small cut on top of each pie to let steam escape, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes until nicely golden.
  8. Let them cool for a few minutes and serve with ketchup.

Variations and tips

Cheese version. Add a spoonful of grated cheddar to the cooled filling for a meltier pie.
