Minced Beef and Horseradish Pasty
This hearty Minced Beef and Horseradish Pasty draws inspiration from the timeless Cornish pasty, infusing it with a vibrant kick of horseradish. A perfect blend of savory beef and sharp horseradish encased in flaky pastry, delivering a delightful fusion of flavors that is both comforting and intriguing.
Ingredients
Pastry
500 grams all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK) - plus extra for dusting
250 grams butter - unsalted, cold and diced
1 teaspoon salt
150 milliliters water - cold
Filling
300 grams ground beef (minced beef) - organic
1 cup potatoes - peeled and finely diced
1 cup onion - finely chopped- 2 tablespoons horseradish - fresh, grated
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
1 large egg - beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Make the Pastry: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the diced butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually mix in the cold water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, diced potato, chopped onion, grated horseradish, and ground black pepper. Mix well until integrated.
- Assemble the Pasties: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thickness. Cut into four circles using a 20 cm plate as a guide. Place a quarter of the filling onto one half of each circle, leaving a border for sealing.
- Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Fold the pastry over to encase the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Gently place the pasties onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Notes
- For added heat, consider using extra horseradish or a touch of mustard in the filling.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour mix for making the pastry.
- Ensure your butter is properly chilled to maintain flakiness in the pastry.
