Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 lb ground beef Ensure high quality for best flavor.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Provides sweetness and depth.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped Adds earthiness.
  • 2 medium carrots, diced For sweetness and texture.
  • 1 cup beef broth Use low sodium for healthier option.
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Ensure Halal version if needed.
  • 1 tsp thyme Adds herbal note.
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 tsp pepper For seasoning.
  • 1 package pie crusts Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 large egg For egg wash.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped mushrooms and diced carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, followed by thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  6. Roll out the pie crust and line a 9-inch pie plate, allowing any excess to hang over the edges.
  7. Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Place a second pie crust over the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal, and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
  9. Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for that golden finish.
Baking
  1. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  2. Let it cool slightly before slicing, and enjoy your delicious Authentic Meat Pie!

Notes

You can switch up the protein to ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version as long as they are Halal certified. Make sure your filling isn’t too watery; letting it simmer longer helps concentrate the flavors. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven covered with aluminum foil for 20-30 minutes.
