Minced Beef and Yorkshire Ale Pasty
This delightful dish is a quintessential British classic, reinvented with a dash of Yorkshire charm. The Minced Beef and Yorkshire Ale Pasty is a beautiful blend of savory minced beef, enhanced by the deep, malty notes of local ale, all encased in a golden, flaky pastry crust. It’s perfect for a cozy meal or as an enticing snack that brings the heartiness of British pub fare to your table.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - for frying
1 large white onion - finely chopped
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - preferably grass-fed
2 cloves garlic - minced- 150 milliliters Yorkshire ale - preferably a dark ale
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon thyme - dried- 500 grams puff pastry - store-bought or homemade
1 large egg - beaten, for egg wash
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the minced beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and fragrant. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the Yorkshire ale, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until the ale reduces and thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into four 20cm/8-inch circles.
- Divide the filling evenly among the pastry circles, placing it on one half of each circle. Brush the edges with water, fold the pastry over the filling to create a semi-circle, and crimp the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops of the pasties with the beaten egg. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
For a vegetarian alternative, use a mixture of mushrooms and lentils in place of minced beef. To save time, prepare the filling up to two days ahead and store in the refrigerator.
