Ingredients
- 1. Use a suitable amount of all-purpose flour
- 2. Thaw 2 pastry crusts, each measuring 9 inches, until they reach room temperature
- 3. Prepare 3 loaf pans measuring 3x5 inches
- 4. Utilize 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 5. Cut 2 medium-sized potatoes into small dice
- 6. Dice 2 stalks of celery
- 7. Chop a large portion of white onion
- 8. Dice a large carrot
- 9. Incorporate 1 pound of ground beef
- 10. Add ¼ cup each of frozen peas and corn
- 11. Introduce a 12-fluid-ounce can or bottle of dark ale
- 12. Incorporate 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 13. Pour in 2 cups of reduced-sodium beef stock
- 14. Add 2 tablespoons of ketchup
- 15. Mix in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 16. Season with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt
- 17. Optionally, include 1 tablespoon of tomato bouillon
- 18. Enhance with 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
- 19. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 20. Brush the top with a beaten egg
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to create the perfect baking environment. To prepare the crust, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out each piece until it reaches a delicate 1/8-inch thickness. Then, carefully cut the dough to fit three 3x5-inch loaf pans, pressing it into the tins with your fingertips and ensuring it covers the edges. Remember to set aside some dough for the top crusts later on.
Step 2
In a spacious pot over medium heat, warm up the oil and add in the potatoes, celery, onion, and carrot. Sauté the mixture until the onions turn translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Introduce the beef next and cook until it browns, typically around 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in the peas, corn, and ale, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce by more than half over roughly 5 minutes.
Step 3
Once the vegetable-ale blend is ready, sprinkle flour into the pot and stir continuously until it thickens to an almost pasty consistency, approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Gradually pour in the stock while stirring constantly. Enhance the filling with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato bouillon, rosemary, and garlic powder. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer until it reaches the desired thickness and the potatoes are tender, usually 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
After removing the pot from the heat and letting the filling cool slightly, carefully spoon it into the prepared crusts. Cover each pie with the reserved dough, pinching the edges to seal them securely. For a beautiful finish, brush the pie tops with a beaten egg wash and make three small slits to allow steam to escape during baking. Place the tins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Step 5
Slide the assembled pies into the preheated oven and bake until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 30 minutes. Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you patiently wait for these scrumptious savory pies to be ready to be served.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by organizing your ingredients in a designated space - this will make the process of making the mini pies much smoother.
- 2. Use airtight containers to store any leftover meat filling, as this will help maintain its freshness and flavor.
