Recipe's preparation
Add onions and garlic to bowl and chop for 3 seconds on Speed 7. Add oil and 30g balsamic vinegar and sauté for 10 minutes at 100deg Speed 1.
Add remaining ingredients and cook for 45 minutes at 100 deg on Reverse Speed 1.
NOTE: It is your choice to add the extra balsamic at this stage. I have it in 2 steps, 1 to infuse the onions and 1 to infuse the sauce. You don't have to though.
Cook again for 15 minutes at Varoma on Reverse Speed 1 (with basket in place if you need to reduce liquid). Allow to cool for a few hours.
Make your pastry as required. If using an electric 4 pie maker you should get 12 pies from this quantity of beef.
If making one big pie you can reduce the amount of pastry required. Bake at 180jdeg for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.
This mix is delicious without pastry and served with vegetables or a mash potato top.
Note: Your pastry will be cooked properly if your pie mix is cold when placed into pastry.

Delicious. The meat was so tender I could cut through it with a spoon!
I only added the first balsamic vinegar, plus I completed step 3 as per recipe. As it was still a bit runny, I added 1Tbs of gravox and returned it for 5 mins/ varoma / rev spoon.
It was my first attempt at shortcrust (EDC x2) but I went for the bought puff (2 sheets only).
It made 12 muffin size plus 2 standard pie sizes. There was enough filling for two more standard pie sizes but I didn't have enough shortcrust and placed it in small Pyrex ramekins to put in the freezer to top with mash or puff later.
I will make these again to freeze.
It took about 30-40 mins at 180C to reheat straight from the freezer.
Thanks for sharing!
The muffin size was a bit fiddly but the size is just right:

OMG. I don't normally post comments but this recipe deserved a review. Absolutely delicious recipe.
I only added the 30g Balsamic Vinegar and I only had diced lamb so I used this instead and also added 1 tspn each of dried Rosemary & Thyme. I didn't add any salt and I'm glad that I didn't, as it was well seasoned enough without me adding more.
I could eat this sauce on it's own, it's so good!!!
It would also be a good flavour base for a casserole or stew.
Definitely on my repeat list.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I made this for the first time and absolutely loved it. I didn't change a thing. I've tried lots of pie filling recipes but this by far is the best.

Wow this pie was amazing! My family opted for the family size pie and the amount was perfect. Best tasting pie we have had in the thermo. Thansk!

The gravy is really yummy, I found that cooking the extra 15 mins as suggested, really helps the meat soften and begin to lightly shred. I have also added approx 75-100 gm diced mushrooms with no ill effects!

Enjoyed by whole family. Handy one to pre-prepare earlier (the meat mix) so big thumbs up for that. I cooked for about 3/4 hour total as I wanted it chunky. Also I put strainer on top for last 15 min to reduce liquid, but still had to leave a little liquid out when I made the pie. I had to brown off top using grill as pastry didn't cook. I only added one lot of vinegar too.

I didn't have quite enough steak so topped up with mince and carrot and zucchini.

Easy to make and go great in the Kmart pie maker.
I will definitely be always having some on hand in my freezer.
Thanks for a great recipe 👏😊
Amazing recipe! ...
Amazing recipe!
Tastes so good!
We always use this recipe for leftover roast meat and vegetables. I always put in the same amount of quantities (as long as I have a decent amount of meat and veges leftover) and then just halve the cooking time. Great with roast beef, lamb and also pork.
We actually get upset when we have a roast and there’s no leftovers for pies 😂

This is truly the best beef pie ever!! I've made these several times, and they're just perfect. Everyone loves them, so I don't bother making any other recipes now. I make them as individual pies to take camping... yes we have a car oven... and these are lunches on travel days. All I hear is "are these best beef?' Hubby won't eat bought pies from roadhouses ever again!! Thank you for a winner!!

Used diced beef, left out extra vinegar and didnt cook it for the extra 15 minutes. Very tasty but dosent have the whole 'aussie meat pie' feel to it. Meat wasnt as tender as expected.
I actually think this would be a nice base as a stew with a few carrots, potatoes and a few extras chucked in
Pretty good! ...
Pretty good!
I only used 800g of rump streak that I had on hand and added two carrots and a Zucchini after step one & chopped for 5 sec speed 5. I’m glad I only added the first lot of balsamic vinegar as it is quite noticeable at the end. Not bad though!

Very good and tasty. Need to reduce cooking time a bit because meat disintergrates too much. But for all of that it is my go to recipe for beef pie. Have used it many times and will use it again.
Thanks

I had to tweak the recipe a little because someone...ok me, didnt check the pantry before I started cooking! It turns out I didnt have worcestershire sauce, not enough tomato paste, no veg/beef stock and I only had 1kg of beef so this was my variation and it was yum! I kept all the same times etc.
1 Onion peeled and halved
1 super large clove garlic peeled
20 g oil
30 g balsamic vinegar
1 heaped tsp ground cumin
1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
1000 g gravy beef diced
40 g tomato paste
40 g plain flour
1 tsp marmite - (yes I'd even run out of vegemite)
20 g soy sauce
10 g hoisin sauce
2 tbs gravox (or any instant traditional flavour gravy)
50 g chicken stock paste from quirky cooking
180 g water
Really good, thank you

Loved this pie. Chopped a few mushrooms with the onions, and added a chorizo with the beef (only had 600g of meat). OMG it was fantastic - and coming from someone who has never made a pie before.
Thanks so much
