Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-6 minutes until browned.
Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add beef stock, stirring constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Line a pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry, trimming excess. Fill with the meat mixture.
Cover with the second pastry sheet and seal edges with a fork. Cut small slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with tomato sauce and a side salad. Enjoy your authentic Australian meat pie!
Absolutely delicious! Made this for my family last weekend and everyone loved it. The pastry was perfectly flaky and the filling was so flavorful. Will definitely make again!
Great recipe! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. My only tip would be to let the filling cool completely before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.
Perfect traditional meat pie recipe! Brought back memories of my grandmother's cooking. The chef's tips were really helpful too.
