Description
A recipe for savory beef pies with a crispy Chinese-style crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (for double crust pie)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the soy sauce, ginger, and white pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Mix the beef broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Place one pie crust into a pie plate. Spoon the cooled beef filling into the crust.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot.
- Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can brush the bottom crust lightly with oil before adding the filling.
- You can substitute ground pork or a mix of beef and pork for the filling.
