26 Tasty Irish Pub Recipes
Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and diced
– 2 stalks celery, chopped
– 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 cup peas
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 tablespoon tomato paste
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the skillet, and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
5. Pour in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Stir in the peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
9. Spoon the beef and vegetable filling onto half of each pastry square or circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
10. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, then fold the other half over the filling to create a pocket. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pastry.
11. Place the prepared pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with more beaten egg for a golden finish.
12. Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
13. Remove from the oven and let the pies cool slightly before serving.
14. Enjoy these delicious Irish pub-style beef and vegetable pies hot, with a side of salad or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
