Momma wanted meat pies intstead of pizza tonight

Pork Butt Mike

This has been allways a treat in our family. Little something different.






Meat Pies

2 to 3 pounds of London briol or Skirt Steak cooked on the egg (rare)

2 sweet onions
1/2 cup of pine nuts (toasted) don't over cook them.
Fresh lemmon juice of 2 lemons
Sea Salt & Ground Pepper to taste.

Cook onions till transparent and add pine nuts and lemon juice, salt and pepper and your cooked beef. Simmer for around 15 min or so. Roll out dough into 6 inch circles. Add around 1/3 cup of the filling on each circle, moisten edges of dough and bring up the sides and seal good. If you bring up three sides then it will look like a triangle. Bake in oven or egg at 400 degrees, for around 20 to 25 minutes untill golden bronw. Serve hot or cold. Enjoy.

Sounds great. I've saved that one to a word file.

As a kid I loved watching Robin Hood movies. There is one classic one that I used to see colorized with a friar that was always eating these meat pies. I always wondered what kind of food they cooked in the middle ages.

I'd say your version is not historic but you made some synapses fire tonight. :blink:

I've made Calzones like this only once and they were great -- my dough was a little thick, as I didn't roll it out enough...

...but

Broc I am not trying to tell you how to make your dough. But when making pizza dough you should not roll it out. It should be done by hand. By rolling it out it makes the dough tough and you’re compressing it. Also I let the dough set for two days in the frig, in a ball with a little olive oil for coating. I have good results this way and a high protein floor means a big difference. Good Luck

For the meat pies you have to roll it out, but you’re looking for a different texture with meat pies then pizza.

Great movie Robin Hood (classic) I know that my family brought this recipe over from Italy four generations ago. I have made these with chicken and ground beef also. But I like skirt steak the best. Like pizza its all in the dough what makes this taste so good. Good luck

With that cook I think we ended up with 14 pies, but I could be wrong my 24 year old came home and swiped some before I could count them. Man that kid can eat. Yes he is still a kid to me. I am just old. LOL

Those look nice, like empanadas of sorts. Really good idea, Mike.

That looks great. I enjoy the pine nuts and I toast them up for rice pilaf and stuffing.
You got me hungry for meat pies. :cheer:

Man that looks good Mike! I bet one would taste extra good leftover for breakfast....kinda like right now

We have a cheeseburger turnover recipe that I loved as a kid and I had not even thought about trying them on the egg! You know what this forum needs? A button to flag a post for future reference so we could each create our own little "try this" list!

Thanks for sharing.

How do you make the dough?

Pork Butt Mike

I use a food prosser to make my dough. First I add the water, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil. Let sit for about 5 min in food prosser, then start adding the flour.


1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
1 cup of water (spring water) I use.
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oil

Flour between 3 to 3 1/2 cups

Once the dough reachs into a ball in processor it's done. Then take the dough form into a ball and lightly coat with olive oil. Put into a zip lock bag and store in frig for tow days. It will last up to a week. But you need to store in frig for two days atleast because it has to slow rise. Take out one hour before you use. If making pizza pie do not use a rolling pin, form pizza dough with hands. When rolling it out in compresses it. Good Luck.

For best dough use a high protein flour. King Arthurs bread dough will work also.
