Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 60 ml soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 250 ml beef stock
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, honey, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced beef and mix well to coat. Let the beef marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and sear the beef in batches until browned. Set the browned beef aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add sesame oil to the skillet. Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Add the beef stock to the skillet, followed by the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped green onions. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe pie dish.

Step 7

Roll out the thawed puff pastry and place it over the beef filling in the pie dish. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Brush the beaten egg over the surface of the puff pastry to ensure a golden, shiny crust when baked.

Step 9

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pastry Topped Ginger Beef!
