Description

These savoury beef pies are a real treat, perfect for a comforting meal on a cold day. The rich beef filling is encased in a flaky pastry and served with a vibrant parsley sauce. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit with family and friends. The combination of the hearty beef, buttery pastry, and fresh parsley sauce is simply delicious. While the pastry needs some chilling time, the active cooking time is manageable, making it a great option for a weekend dinner. Feel free to add other vegetables to the beef filling, such as carrots or mushrooms, for extra flavour and nutrients.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the minced beef for 5-10 mins, stirring regularly, until browned. Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and the white pepper. Simmer for 10-15 mins until the stock has reduced by half. Leave to cool.
