BEEF & CURRY PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Mix together beef, soy sauce, sugar, and salt with your hands until combined well. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, then add beef and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up beef into small pieces, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Drain beef in a colander set over a bowl, reserve skillet, and return beef drippings to uncleaned skillet. Heat drippings over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add curry powder and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add water and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, until liquid is absorbed and potatoes are tender, about 1 minute. Return beef to skillet and stir in peas, then cool filling, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Roll out one sheet of dough into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin and cut out 4 (5-inch) rounds with cutter. Mound 1/3 cup filling onto each of 2 rounds, leaving a 3/4-inch border around edges, then brush edges lightly with egg and cover with another round, gently stretching to cover filling completely. Gently press edges with tines of a fork (about 3/4-inch from edge) to seal, then transfer pies to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sheets of dough and filling to make a total of 8 pies on 2 baking sheets (you may have some filling left over). Brush tops of pastry lightly with egg and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pies are deep golden brown and puffed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pies to warm, about 10 minutes, or room temperature. Beef pies can be assembled and brushed with egg 1 day ahead and chilled, covered, or 1 week ahead and frozen, wrapped well. Bake frozen pies (do not thaw) an additional 5 minutes. •Beef pies can be baked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled. Reheat on a baking sheet in middle of a 350°F oven until filling is hot, about 15 minutes.

Brush the dish rim with some of the egg ; cover with pastry, crimping the edges around the rim. Cut 3 slits in the top and brush with remaining egg. Bake in a 350°F oven until golden, 40 minutes.

BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat one tbsp of the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 5-8 mins, turning with a pair of tongs half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Fry gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and fry for two mins. Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.
• Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and cook over a low heat for 1 ½ - 2 hrs or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir through the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads or rice.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• To prepare the filling, heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the ground beef to the skillet, continuously breaking up the beef with a whisk to form small pieces. Cook until the beef has completely browned and is cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.
• When the beef is browned, transfer the beef mixture to a strainer and drain the excess juices. Set the beef aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown gravy mix and water, whisking them together until they are thoroughly combined, with no clumps. Transfer the beef back to the skillet. Over low heat, add the brown gravy to the beef, mixing well. Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the skillet, distributing it evenly throughout the beef-gravy mixture. Set the beef to the side while you prepare the pie shell.
• To prepare the pie shell, divide the ball of dough in half, setting one half to the side. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 12-inch circle. Fold the circle in half, place it in a deep-dish 10-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Spread the beef evenly across the bottom of the pie shell.
• To prepare the top crust, roll out the second half of the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 12-inch circle. Fold the dough circle in half and place it over the filling, with the straight line of the half circle running down the middle of the pie. Unfold the circle so that the entire pie is covered. Using your thumb and index finger, crimp the edges of the pie together to seal in the filling, and then use a fork to puncture the top of the pie 5 or 6 times. Brush the top of the pie and crimped edges with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375°F and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pie is hot in the middle (this can be determined by inserting a knife into the center of the pie). Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• Cooked Australian Beef Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked pie can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in your freezer. For best results, thaw the pie in the refrigerator before baking as instructed.
