Pasties are savory turnovers that are usually filled with meat and vegetables. Pictured with our Smoked Fish Toasts and Crab Tea Sandwiches.
Beef & Turnip Pasties
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 4 ounces beef filet, cut into ¼-inch cubes
- ¼ cup finely chopped, peeled Yukon gold potato
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped, peeled turnip
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Pasty Dough (recipe follows)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together beef, potato, turnip, onion, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a ⅛-inch thickness. Using a 3 ½-inch round cutter, cut 12 rounds from dough.
- Place 1 tablespoon beef filling in the center of each dough circle. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush edges of dough circles with egg wash. Fold dough over to enclose filling, pressing out air and crimping dough edges with a fork dipped in flour. Transfer pasties to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of pasties with egg wash.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375°F, and bake until pasties are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Pasties can be assembled and baked early in the day, cooled, placed in a single layer in a covered container, and refrigerated. Just before serving, place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for approximately 10 minutes.
