Australian Mini Meat Pies | Small Savory Pies in the Air Fryer

Cook the ground beef with the onion and garlic until it changes color, then add the tomato paste, soy sauce and meat stock. Mix the flour with a little water and stir it into the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, until thickened.

Spread the filling on a wide plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to cool completely.

Line mini pie tins with the puff pastry and add the cooled filling. Cover with pastry lids, press the edges with a fork to seal and brush with beaten egg.

Arrange the pies in the preheated air-fryer basket with space between them and cook at 200°C / 390°F for 12 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, bake in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for 20 minutes.
