Add 500 g beef mince and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the lumps with a wooden spoon. Add ¼ cup tomato paste and crumble in 1 cube beef stock and cook for 2 minutes.
Make pie
- Line the prepared pie dish with the defrosted pastry, ensuring up the sides is covered. Spoon the filling into the dish and smooth out. Layer over 40 g gherkins, evenly spread over ¼ cup burger sauce, and grate over 100 g cheddar cheese. Place a final sheet of flaky puff pastry over the top and pinch the edges with your fingers or use a fork to crimp. Whisk 1 egg in a small bowl, then brush it over the pastry. Sprinkle over 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
Bake pie
- Bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and cooked.Tip: If you're making individual pies cook for 15-20 minutes. For one family-sized pie cook for 20-25 minutes.
