Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure the beef is cut into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Allow the filling to cool slightly before filling the pastry, as this will prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. You can use store-bought puff pastry to save time. Brushing the tops of the pies with beaten egg will give them a nice golden brown color and a crispy texture.Nutrition
