Huey's Beef & Worcestershire Pies image

A recipe which Huey (Aussie chef Iain Hewitson) classifies as GOOD OLD AUSSIE TUCKER, which means the recipe's origins are Anglo-Saxon (i.e. pre-European culinary influences). In posting this recipe, I have "converted" Huey's "a generous slurp of Worcestershire sauce" to 2-3 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce. Be guided by your taste preferences here.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 Huey's Beef & Worcestershire Pies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

olive oil, for sauteing
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed (optional)
2 -3 slices rindless bacon, chopped
600 g lean stewing beef, cut into smallish cubes
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 (410 g) cans diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 liter beef stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 -3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, to taste
puff pastry sheet
cooking spray
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
good quality tomato sauce, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat a little oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and gently sauté the onion, garlic and bacon until tender, stirring now and again.
  • Add the cubed steak and gently cook until it changes colour, stirring regularly.
  • Then stir in the flour and briefly cook.
  • Add the tomatoes, stock, parsley, bay leaves, seasonings and Worcestershire sauce; mix well, bring to the simmer and then turn the heat down; gently simmer for about 1 hour until the meat is very tender; remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Cut the pastry sheets into six rounds and press into individual, lightly oiled pie tins, leaving a little pastry around the edges; put them on an oven tray and refrigerate while the filling is cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°-375°F/gas mark 4-5.
  • Combine the egg and milk, and cut out six smaller pastry rounds.
  • Spoon the filling into the cooled pastry tins and fold in the pastry edges; paint the edges and the smaller pastry round edges with egg wash; place the rounds over the pies, press down the edges and place on an oven tray; brush again with the egg wash and cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Serve the Beef & Worcestershire Pies with tomato sauce on the side.

Overall, these pies were a great success. They were easy to make, tasted delicious, and were a hit with my family and friends.

These pies were a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough Worcestershire sauce. I'll definitely add more next time.

I'm not a big fan of pies, but these ones were really good. The filling was savory and the crust was flaky and buttery.

I made these pies for my son's birthday party and he loved them! He said they were the best pies he had ever eaten.

These pies were a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some steak that I had cooked the night before and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I baked the pies in individual ramekins instead of a pie pan. It made them easier to serve and they looked really cute.

I added some chopped vegetables to the filling, such as carrots, celery, and onions. It made the pies even more flavorful and nutritious.

I used a pre-made pie crust to save time and the pies still turned out great. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who is short on time.

These pies were a bit too salty for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less Worcestershire sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of Worcestershire sauce, but I really enjoyed these pies. The sauce added a nice tangy flavor that balanced out the richness of the beef.

These pies were easy to make and tasted delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pies turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the filling.

These pies were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
