How To Make steak pasties

  • 1
    prepare pie crust and set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, mix together the meat, vegetables and the seasonings. Divide into 6-8 portions, set aside.
  • 3
    Divide the prepared crust into 6 (large) or 8 (medium) equal pieces. Roll each into a large circle about 1/4" thick.
  • 4
    On one half of each circle, place equal amounts of the meat-vegetable mixture. Place a piece of butter on the top of the mixture. Brush the edges of the crust with water. Carefully lift and fold the crust over the mixture, making a half circle. Fold the edge up just a bit and finger crimp together. Make two slits about 1/2" long in each top of the pasties.
  • 5
    Brush the pasties with milk and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about an hour or until they are a deep GOLDEN BROWN.
