Beef Curry Pasties

Flaky, spicy, and rich, perfect for warming up winter nights.

Beef curry meets Aussie-style pasty in this comforting bake, packed with tender chunks of slow-cooked beef chuck, a hint of spice, and wrapped in golden shortcrust pastry. They’re easy to make in bulk, freezer-friendly, and absolutely unreal served with mint yoghurt or chutney on the side.

Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or looking for a crowd-pleaser, these pasties bring flavour without fuss.

🧂 Ingredients (Makes 8 Pasties)

• 1 onion, diced

• 1 carrot, diced

• 500g diced chuck steak

• 2 small potatoes, diced

• 250ml curry sauce (Rogan Josh or Vindaloo both work beautifully)

• 1 cup beef stock

• ½ cup frozen peas

• A handful of fresh curry leaves

• 4 sheets shortcrust pastry

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tbsp mixed sesame seeds

• Mint yoghurt, to serve

🔪 Method

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C.

2. In a pan, fry the onion, carrot and chuck steak until browned.

3. Stir in the curry sauce, diced potatoes and beef stock. Cover and simmer in the oven at 150°C for around 2 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.

4. Stir in the peas and curry leaves, then let the mixture cool.

5. Once cooled, cut your pastry sheets in half. Add a spoonful of filling to one side, fold over, and seal with a fork.

6. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

   1. Serve hot with mint yoghurt or your favourite chutney.

👨🍳 Butcher’s Tip

We recommend using our premium diced chuck steak, trimmed in-house and perfect for slow cooks. It breaks down beautifully after a long simmer, making it the ideal cut for hearty pies, pasties, and stews.

📦 Freezer Friendly

Let the baked pasties cool completely, then wrap and freeze. To reheat, just pop them into a 160°C oven until warmed through — no soggy bottoms here.
