Steak and Veg Pasties

by The Batch Lady

Cornish pasties are such a winner and take next to no time to make. They’re great to have in the freezer for a quick after-school meal. You can find the mixed vegetables used in this recipe in the tinned goods aisle.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Add the mixed vegetables, onion and diced steak to a mixing bowl, then season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin. Tracing around an 18cm bowl or plate, cut out 6 circles with a sharp knife. Cut as many circles as you can, then reroll the pastry scraps to achieve 6 circles.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture between the circles, spooning it into the centre.

Step 4

Fold one side of the pastry circle over the other to enclose the filling. Using the ends of a fork, press down on the edges of the pasty to seal.

Step 5

If freezing, you can now place the pasties in a large labelled freezer bag, putting sheets of baking parchment in between to stop them sticking to each other, and seal if you wish.

Step 6

If cooking in the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pasties on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, brush each pasty all over with the beaten egg and cook for 20–25 minutes, until golden (add 5 minutes if cooking from frozen).

Step 7

If cooking in an air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Brush the pasties generously with the egg wash and cook for 15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through (add 3-4 minutes if cooking from frozen). Serve with ketchup.
