- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (285 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: beef, celery, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 60 g Flour, all-purpose
- 20 g Lard
- 25 g Water
- 130 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 25 g Onions, raw
- 15 g Beef broth
- 1 g Salt
- 0.5 g Black pepper
- 0.3 g Nutmeg
- 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
Method
- Melt the lard in the water over low heat, bring just to the boil, then tip into the flour and half the salt and mix quickly into a smooth, warm dough. Cover and rest 15 minutes.
- Mix the minced beef with the finely chopped onion, beef broth, the rest of the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- While the dough is still warm, mould two-thirds of it around a jar or pie mould to line the base and sides of a small straight-sided tin, leaving a lip at the top.
- Pack the meat mixture into the lined pastry. Roll the rest of the dough into a lid, press the edges together, crimp well and cut a small steam hole in the centre.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 45 minutes until deep golden and the filling reaches 74°C (165°F) inside.
- Rest for 10 minutes before easing out of the tin.
