Beef and Cheese Meat Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 sheets puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

For the Filling:

• 1 1/2 lbs beef chuck or steak, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup provolone cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
   • In the same pan, sauté onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic until softened.
   • Return the beef to the pan and stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
   • Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to thicken.
   • Once thickened, reduce the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and provolone cheeses. Mix until the cheese melts and the filling becomes creamy.
   • Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Pie:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and place it in the bottom of a greased pie dish, allowing the excess to hang over the edges.
   • Pour the cooled beef and cheese filling into the pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
   • Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the top of the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
   • Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
   • Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
3. Bake the Pie:
   • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
   • Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your rich, cheesy, and savory beef meat pie! It’s perfect for a satisfying meal and pairs well with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
