Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 340g (12 oz) corned beef, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon English mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Pastry:

  • 400g (14 oz) ready-made shortcrust pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for glazing)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

Step 1: Cook the Onions and Potatoes

  • Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook the Onions: Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add the Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes until they start to soften. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Add the Corned Beef

  • Mix in the Corned Beef: Add the cubed corned beef to the pan, breaking it up slightly with a wooden spoon.
  • Season the Filling: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, English mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
  • Cool the Filling: Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling the pie.

Prepare the Pastry

Step 3: Roll Out the Pastry

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the shortcrust pastry to fit your pie dish, leaving enough overhang to seal the edges.
  • Line the Pie Dish: Gently press the rolled-out pastry into the pie dish, trimming any excess.

Assemble and Bake the Pie

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

  • Add the Filling: Spoon the cooled corned beef filling into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Roll Out the Top Crust: Roll out the remaining third of the pastry to form the top crust.
  • Seal the Pie: Place the top crust over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.
  • Glaze the Pie: Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
  • Cut a Steam Hole: Make a small cut in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 5: Bake the Pie

  • Bake Until Golden: Place the pie on a baking tray to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  • Cool Slightly: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
