Ingredients:

Puff Pastry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fD3Cx6kkW4)

• 2½ cups of plain or all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of cold unsalted butter
• ½ cup of cold water
• ½ tsp of salt
• 1 tsp of lemon or lime juice
• Egg wash (1 small egg + a bit of milk)

*or use ready-made/ store-bought puff pastry sheets

Steak Filling

• Approx. 1 pound of beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1¼ cups of beef stock
• Salt and white pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, optional
• 2 small bay leaves, optional
• 2 tbsp of gravy granules
• 2 tbsp of olive or vegetable oil

Directions:

Step 1

Cut the beef into ½ inch cubes, then finely chop the onion, and set them aside. Place a pan on a stove over medium heat, then add the oil, and let it heat up. Once hot, add the onion, then toss and saute until softened, add the beef, and continue to toss and cook them until nice and brown. Add the beef stock, then allow them to simmer before seasoning them with salt and pepper, and then add the Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves as well.

Step 2

Place the lid on the pan, then turn the heat to low, and allow it to simmer for about 1½ to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Once the meat is tender and done cooking, add the gravy granules, then mix them all together until combined, and allow the sauce to thicken. Turn off the heat, then remove the pan from the stove, and allow the filling to cool down completely. Prepare the puff pastry as instructed in this video tutorial, then roll it out into a rectangle at about 4mm thick, and cut them out into 4 sheets evenly.

Step 3

Lay each puff pastry sheet on a slightly larger piece of parchment paper dusted with flour, then stack them together, and place them in the refrigerator. Take one sheet at a time, then fill one side of the puff pastry with the steak filling making sure to leave some space around the edges, and brush some egg wash on the exposed parts of the pastry before folding it over. Seal the edges using a fork, then continue the process with the rest of the pastries and fillings.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 170° or 340°F at this point, then lift the filled pastries by the parchment paper, and transfer them to a baking tray. Brush their top with a generous amount of egg wash, then cut 3 small openings at the top of each one, and place them in the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for about 50 minutes, then remove them from the oven, and allow them to cool down or serve immediately. Enjoy!
