Making homemade meat pies is a comforting and rewarding experience, especially when following the delicious method crafted by Chef Scott Biffin. Known for his hearty, flavor-packed creations, Chef Biffin’s meat pie recipe brings together rich, savory fillings wrapped in a perfectly golden, flaky crust—ideal for family dinners or weekend indulgence.
To begin, prepare your filling by browning minced beef or lamb in a pan with chopped onions, garlic, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Add a tablespoon of flour to help thicken the mixture, followed by beef stock, tomato paste, and herbs like thyme and rosemary. Let it simmer until thick and rich. Allow the mixture to cool before assembling the pies.
Next, roll out your puff pastry or shortcrust dough and line individual pie tins. Fill each with the cooled meat mixture, then cover with another pastry layer, sealing the edges and brushing the tops with egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Chef Scott Biffin’s homemade meat pies are warm, savory, and bursting with flavor—perfect for enjoying fresh from the oven with a side of mashed potatoes or a green salad. A true Aussie-inspired classic!
