Cornish Pasty Filling

Perfect to go with the pie pastry recipe!


Ingredients:

500g Cubed beef (cubes to be 1cm)
2 Medium Potatoes
1 Medium Carrot
Frozen peas (optional)
1 Onion
1 packet beef soup
Pinch of Parsley
Salt to taste
Black pepper

Method:

Brown onion and beef in a frying pan. Add the beef soup powder and use approximately ½ the recommended amount stated on the packet to make soup, this will ensure a good gravy. Dice your carrot and potatoes into 1cm square pieces and add to the beef mixture. Add the peas if you want to, parsely, salt and pepper and cook stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens. The mixture should be thick enough that when you place it in the middle of the pie cases it doesn’t run away.

Handy Hint: The beef will cook further inside the pies in the oven so the beef need not be soft!
