Minced Beef and Stilton Crumble Pie
Minced Beef and Stilton Crumble Pie combines rich beefy flavors with the tangy sharpness of Stilton cheese, creating a hearty and comforting dish. Inspired by classic British pies, this version elevates the traditional savory pie with a sophisticated crumbly topping that balances perfectly with the savory filling.
Ingredients
Filling
2 tablespoons olive oil - Preferably extra virgin
1 cup onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - preferably grass-fed
1 cup beef stock (beef broth or beef bouillon) - preferably homemade or low-sodium
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup peas - frozen - 3.5 ounces Stilton cheese - crumbled
Crumble Topping
1 cup all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK)
3.5 ounces butter - cold and cubed
2.6 ounces cheddar cheese - grated
1 tablespoon parsley - finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and onions. Sauté the onions until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until aromatic.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the minced beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, approximately 8–10 minutes.
- Pour in the beef stock, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens slightly.
- Stir in the frozen peas and let the mixture cook for another 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat. Heap in the crumbled Stilton cheese, mixing it through the beef mixture.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- For the crumble topping, combine the flour and cold butter in a mixing bowl. Rub them together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Mix in the grated cheddar and chopped parsley.
- Evenly disperse the crumble topping over the pie filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, you can add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the beef mixture.
- For a keto-friendly variation, replace the flour in the crumble with almond flour.
