Beef Pasties Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for rolling dough
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup ice cold water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large russet potato cubed
- 4 medium potatoes diced
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg whipped for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together flour and shortening in a mixer or food processor. Drizzle in water slowly and dough will start to bind together. Once dough has formed a ball-like consistency, remove from mixer or food processor. Place dough in refrigerator and chill for one hour before rolling out dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine beef, carrots, potato, onions, garlic and seasonings.
- Separate dough into 6 even pieces and form into balls. Roll out each piece of dough onto lightly floured surface. Keep others cold before rolling out each into an 8-inch circle. Divide filling evenly between the 6 pastries. Fold dough over into a half-moon shape and crimp edges of dough with fork or fingers. Cut a few small slits into each pastry to allow steaming while in the oven. Brush with egg wash and bake at 350 for an hour and fifteen minutes.
