Description

This Fried Beef Pie is a savory, handheld delight that transforms simple ingredients into a satisfying meal. The mixture of lean ground beef and sliced mushrooms creates a rich, umami-filled center, while the egg and heavy cream binder ensures a tender texture. Fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, these pies offer a delightful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the juicy interior. Perfect for a quick lunch, a hearty dinner side, or a unique appetizer for gatherings, they are easy to prepare with pantry staples. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a comforting, home-style treat that appeals to both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pre-cook the ground beef in a separate pan until browned, then drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Saut&# 195;© the sliced mushrooms in a bit of oil until softened and browned, then set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until smooth and well combined.
  4. Fold the cooked beef and mushrooms into the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the beef-egg mixture into the pan, swirling quickly to form a thin, even layer.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the edges begin to set.
  8. Carefully flip the pie using a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
  9. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil if necessary, until all batter is used.

Note

For best results, ensure the beef and mushrooms are cooled before mixing with eggs to prevent the eggs from scrambling prematurely.

You can add seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or fresh herbs to the egg mixture for extra flavor.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

If the mixture is too loose, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs or flour to help bind the pies.
