Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 125 grams Non-dairy butter substitute
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 200 grams Diced tomatoes
• 100 milliliters Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for glaze, optional)

Directions

Step 1

To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the non-dairy butter substitute and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Slowly add the cold water, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the pastry chills, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced carrot, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 8

Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Cut into circles large enough to fit and slightly overhang the edges of your chosen pie or tart tins.

Step 9

Press the pastry circles into the tins. Fill with the cooled beef mixture.

Step 10

Cut additional pastry circles to fit as lids on top of each pie. Press the edges together to seal and crimp the edges if desired. Make small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden glaze, omitting this step if you want to keep it fully dairy-free.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step 13

Let the pastries cool for a few minutes in their tins before serving warm.
