Steps:
- Process steak until mixture resembles mince. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bacon. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until golden. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned.
- Add tomato paste and flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until combined. Add stock and thyme. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes or until sauce has thickened and meat is tender. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line eight 7.5cm round pie moulds with shortcrust pastry. Trim excess. (I would bake the crust for 5-8 minutes before filling with meat mixture to have a flaky crust) Fill cases with steak mixture. Top with puff pastry. Trim excess. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Using a small sharp knife, cut a small cross in pie tops. Brush with egg. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Serve with sauce.

AUSSIE MEAT PIES, MADE QUICK

They taste like a ritzy version of a sloppy Joe. This is my sped-up version of a down-under favorite. Serve the pies with a green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- With a sharp knife, cut the thawed but chilled puff pastry sheets into 4 squares each, 8 squares total, and arrange on a cookie sheet. Season the squares with a little salt and pepper. Bake the puff pastry according to the package directions, or until golden brown all over, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Let it get really hot so the meat will caramelize when it hits the pan. Add the EVOO, then the butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add the beef and really work at breaking it up as it browns-get the bits all nice and tiny. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour. Cook the mixture a minute more. In a small bowl, combine the Worcestershire with the tomato paste and brown sugar, then stir in the stock. Whisk the seasoned stock into the pan. Stir into the meat and combine. Season the meat with the grill seasoning and reduce the heat to low.
- When the pastry squares are ready, assemble the pies. Place a square of pastry in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Top with one quarter of the meat mixture and another square. Place a large dollop of ketchup in the center of the top pastry and sprinkle the "pies" with chives to garnish, then serve.
- You could also use refrigerated pie crusts instead of puff pastry sheets.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pie will be. Choose high-quality beef, vegetables, and spices.
- Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is browned and cooked through.
- Use a good gravy: The gravy is what makes the pie. Use a good quality gravy mix or make your own from scratch.
- Don't overfill the pie crusts: Overfilled pie crusts will burst open during baking. Fill them only about two-thirds full.
- Bake the pies at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the filling from becoming soggy.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out when you cut into them.
