How To Bake A Beef Pastelle Pie | Foodie Nation

Christmas is right around the corner. No need to pull out the pastelle press because we’re making Beef Pastelle Pie! This one’s a special request by Chef Jason who will say ‘see you later’ to the Foodie Nation fam soon. He'll make a few more recipes with us before his farewell though, so stay tuned because they’re GOOD:
Yield: 15 (3 Oz) Portions
INGREDIENTS
For the Filling:
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
3 Tbsp Minced Onions
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
2 Tsp Pimento Pepper/Jalapeños, minced
1 Lb Minced Beef, or Chicken, Pork, Lamb
3 Tbsp Minced Chives/Scallions
1 Tsp Fresh Thymes Leaves, minced
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste
2 Tbsp Bar B Que Sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
¼ Cup Chopped Olives
Salt/Black Pepper to taste
For the Pastelle:
3 Cups Milk
3 Cups Water
3 Oz Butter, melted
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1½ Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
3 Cups Cornmeal Flour
¾ Cup Cheddar Cheese
METHOD
1. Place a medium sized skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sauté the minced onions, garlic and pimentos for 2 minutes. Add the minced meat, chives and thyme leaves and cook until meat turns a slight grey and become grainy in pot, about 5 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add the tomato paste, bar b que sauce and soy sauce. Stir to combine and place in the olives.
3. Cook covered for 8 minutes then remove lid and let simmer additionally for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and remove from heat. Set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Grease lightly a 12 x 9 inch baking dish with Vegetable Oil.
6. To make the pastelle dough, place a medium sauce pan on medium heat and add all the ingredients for the dough except the cornmeal flour and cheese. Bring mixture to a light simmer where small bubbles break the surface of the liquids then slowly whisk in the cornmeal flour into the warm liquids.
7. Reduce heat to low then switch over to a rubber spatula as mixture becomes thicker and continue folding and mixing for a further minute. Remove pan from heat.
8. When still pliable, divide the dough in half and place half of it into the greased tray and press out until it covers the surface to about ¼ inch thick.
9. Place the minced beef filling atop the layer of cornmeal dough evenly then gently press out the remaining cornmeal dough over the minced beef to cover it and encase.
10. Sprinkle cheese over the top layer and place in the oven to bake for 45 - 50 minutes.
11. Let cool for 10 - 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

[@jcodallo1]

Omg!going Y?

[@selkcebr]

We put a piece of greased fig leaf in the bottom of the dish before assembling the pie, then as soon as it’s out of the oven! Place another piece of banana leaf on the top and then cover with foil and to steam, in that way, you get the some of the real pastelle smell and flavor.

[@AmandaLaggan]

This is a wonderful idea! Will try it! Thanks!

[@francinejohnson3110]

Great idea

[@sweets9828]

Know what I absolutely love about your videos? They're informative and entertaining. I smile a lot while viewing thanks for sharing

[@vanessasylvester4117]

I love it. This will definitely be on my Christmas Day menu.

[@janwatt7338]

Oh yes!! I am in Canada and can’t get the fig leaves to make the pastels. This will be a great alternative. Thanks so much for these great demonstrations of my favourite foods - and your fantastic personalities too!!

[@jackieandrea]

Where in Canada do you live? You can get banana leaves from Asian supermarkets

[@jcodallo1]

Will definitely try.I would line my dish with banana leaf. Thanks.

[@annheath2022]

I just love watching you both I’ve made a few of your recipes love them happy holidays 🥰

[@hemasubra2230]

You guys are awesome. This recipe looks great. I'm definitely going to try this.

[@ronaldsylvester7759]

Love watching you guys this nation rocks,ah trying everything.

[@aizesb2229]

Wonderful recipe. A little variation for me would be to some how line my dish with greased banana leaves before adding my cornmeal. And still add some at the top to create that true true long time flavor. Might be tricky being in the oven but with some thought its doable.

[@TheIcthyosaur]

Thanks for the recipe. Have to try it for the family this week. You all did this one with extra spirit. Like you all were really excited to film at Khan's.

[@suegibbons8086]

Thank you guys for this, I actually just finished making you recipe lol, and tastes 👏 👏

[@natalialouis3095]

Great one. I'll be making this this Christmas. Maybe no cheese. I would also add raisins and capers

[@karminiparsan4440]

Yes...i think the cheese will take away from the pastelle taste

[@patriciafarnell4014]

Thanks guys for adding another dish to my Christmas menu 😊🔥😍🤩

[@gemmaharris3924]

[@annetteperouza4848]

Love this will add to my Christmas lunch.

[@RonnieKhan100867]

I’m definitely going to try this

[@rheathomas456]

I also did this for Christmas 2020, my goodness I doh have to tell you it was boss.

[@denisep2889]

Thanks guys.. I combine the meat and the cornmeal, I never thought of using BBQ sauce though, I'll give it a try, must have capers for me and I top with cream style corn instead of cheese

[@DC-vw7yf]

Possibly an alternative to all the damned fig leaf, string, tying, mixing and steaming. Possibly.

[@seapeajones]

I in the States saying the same thing.

[@aizesb2229]

I totally agree but the leaves add that earthy flavor so I'd try it at the base n top ....no tying no folding no steaming

[@DC-vw7yf]

@@aizesb2229 that's a good suggestion especially at the base. Shall try that! You think i should grease the fig leaf?

[@aizesb2229]

@@DC-vw7yf yes. Just like with the actual pastel, after heating the leaf to make it pliable you rub a little oil to help it come out smoothly from the pan.

[@DC-vw7yf]

@@aizesb2229 with thanks! :)

[@fromdeislands]

Definitely going to try this

[@tanashamcdonald9364]

Love it i need to try that for New years

[@sueramm8323]

Omg looks soo delicious hv to try dis😋😋

[@claudetteblackman7365]

I have never seen this one but it looks good I am quite sure it taste very very good I am going to try it.

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

Tried it with corn meal (just making with what I had) so it was dense but still quite moist, and reduced by 1/3 to fit in a 9x9 inch dish. I'm probably light-years away from anything resembling a pastelle, but it was easy and came out tasty.

[@ruthnettles1677]

Issa Trini Ting❤️💯🇹🇹 I will definitely try this for my family👍🏽

[@addstav2272]

🤣🤣I was singing that song yesterday and today because I was was thinking of ham and pastels 🎶😂ect

[@Trucey21]

I have to try this

[@Noog6284]

My guy Chef J always in great spirits 🤣🤣 big shout out to him

[@faithjames6671]

Nice and moist love it.

[@vaazig]

Reminds me of Chilean pastel de choclo, which is a delicious corn kernel based cottage pie. I can see that working with Caribbean flavours for sure.

[@AmandaLaggan]

This sounds absolutely delicious! Will be looking into making this for sure.

[@vaazig]

@@AmandaLaggan You won't regret it. It's a savoury pie, with sweet notes from the sweet corn and the raisins. Now I want to make that again. (Not Chilean, but my cooking is eclectic)

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

Oh wow, I had Pastel Pie in Chile, South America. I tried and made it for the first time there.

[@fallonprovidence3342]

Love this!!!

[@fathanfamily7538]

[@michelleskeete8239]

Well gday i tried making it . I think its plenty work wen u doing it withojt the male help to turn the cornmeal but igs in the oven thkz ..🎉

[@kishona3915]

What type of milk is used in the water for the cornmeal part ?

[@karminiparsan4440]

I remember seeing a recipe using fig leaf on the pie before covering with foil and baking. I wonder if this will make a difference with the taste and texture?

[@diannelutchman8046]

Is it cornmeal or cornflour used?

[@triniskitchen5598]

Great video 👍

[@Yahyahsouth401]

Mouth watering

[@jackiejames1338]

Total grass fed ❤❤

[@kknnddcc]

There's a letter of the alphabet that few ppl know, Kezzie used it when she said "swirl" 2:00

[@dinnelestavia4274]

Cornmeal porridge my #1 for breakfast

[@AAli-xy9vj]

Would i be able to make this with minced beef from the grocery? Or do I have to buy it at Khans?

[@pkmntrainerbrown9218]

Hey foodienation, I was wondering how come we don't wash minced meat (chicken, beef, pork etc) with lime or vinegar but we wash the chicken pieces, beef etc.

[@shadiraholder5685]

Can you guys do a video showing how to make Sweet potato pie cause I'm lost in the woods 🤣🤣 love the video 💯💯 !! 💖❣💝💞💗💘💙😍🇧🇧🇧🇧

[@annabahadur9710]

I second that... Would love to see a sweet potato pie video

[@webby7106]

When you guys coming to jamaica for a cookout!!

[@anneramlal1811]

Nice

[@setrinigyal44]

Do you have a recipe for fish pastille or fish pie because I do not eat beef or pork. Could you do one if you do not have one on you tube?

[@shawnaw9750]

Yummy!

[@sherribelfon7664]

Hi what kind of cheese, what kid of butter and what kind of milk?

[@GregJoseph1978]

Allyuh reading my mind. Just yesterday I was thinking about attempting to make this for Christmas. I will definitely try this recipe.

[@lewisann7714]

You not alone.

[@alixemmanuel836]

When is d oil down receipe comming??

[@mavisbute6928]

A wooden spoon is the best to mix it in, that's what I use.

[@susanmayhrai779]

Made this but it used about 2 cups of corn meal alone. 3 cups would have gotten it stiff. Note that I followed all the measurements. Not sure if this happened to anyone else.

[@rosettamatthews6859]

Lo rd foodie nation I'm making this today

[@CHAMPIZKITCHEN]

yummyy so delicious😋😋😋🥰❤❤❤

[@jjtheflerkin6016]

What is the name of the song that goes to the tune he’s singing in the very beginning??? PLEASE I need this information!

[@roshniwajdaile9549]

good

[@natashamoon6124]

What milk was used ?

[@bettyannbaptiste7723]

Is corn flour is the same corn meal

[@vidyajaggernauth2414]

Fantastic..... cooking chefs.... save me a trip from buying pastel press.... 👍👍♥️

[@crystalholder2213]

Lol...No more fig leaf and press...🥰🥰

[@nicoletoney5669]

How come u guys don't season the beef

[@shermoore1693]

You don't put green seasoning?

[@pmpdaddyt1218]

I like to cook the beef Halfway, then remove it from the pot and I cook my aromatics in the beef fat before adding the beef back in to finish cooking...

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

Yes! You have a beautiful colorful culture with beautiful colorful people, so your food has to be colorful.

[@adeisharosales7364]

Can we please get a khans in central please.

[@natashaalfred2645]

Once the prices are reasonable I would love to see a Khan's outlet set up in the north-west

[@alt-w7130]

In order to get the real Pastelle taste I base the bottom and top of the bowl with the banana leaf and put the foil over it.

[@pdub69triniboy]

Make it like that for Christmas tomorrow

[@jowengilbert3924]

What type of cheese did you use

[@betruthfulalwayspeace579]

Had to be New Zealand cheddar cheese. Any old or sharp cheddar will do.

[@jowengilbert3924]

Thanks, I will be making it tomorrow

[@Kim-th8xe]

Such a good alternative to the norm. As much I love a good pastelle, I really don't want to buy my fig leaves from the Hmart. "LIVING IN AMERICA PROBLEMS" LMAO.

[@preciousjohnitty3653]

Please make pastelles! I wanna see you make a chicken pastelle cus every time I eat it, it’s always dry 😢
