Expert Tips
We LOVE our Thermomix Beef Pies recipe and think you will too!
- Ensure the MC is removed - and the splatter guard or rice basket is in place over the MC hole. This is for safety reasons and allows the steam to escape.
- I like to use shortcrust pastry on the base and puff pastry on the top... but you can use one type of pastry if you prefer.
- Vegemite adds a rich flavour to the sauce - however, you can omit it if you prefer.
- Cornflour helps to thicken the sauce.
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- These pies can be cooked in the pie maker or in a muffin tin in the oven.
- Store leftover pies in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
FAQs
Our Thermomix Beef Pies can be cooked in a pie maker or in a muffin tray in the oven.
Yes absolutely! This recipe is suitable for all Thermomix models.
This is for safety reasons. When cooking at high temperatures using the Thermomix, steam can build up when the MC is in place. Removing the MC and placing the rice basket or splatter guard over the MC hole allows steam to escape, while stoping splatters.

June Flemmer says
I don’t have a thermomixer can I cook this receive the conventional way. All your other recipes look fantastic.
Lucy says
Hi June, unfortunately this recipe only has Thermomix instructions 🙂
Catriona Daly says
Yum!! I added zucchini and mushroom. A little watery so I might add less water but really yummy except fussy girl child. Sigh
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Catriona, I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe! I would suggest the zucchini has made the filling a little watery. You could try squeezing any excess liquid from grated zuchhini next time too 🙂
Jade says
This made 6 pies in my pie tins which are 4/20 size. If I had known I wouldn’t have defrosted so much pastry. I also added an extra tablespoon of corn flour as it was too runny. Tastes good. I agree it’s a little sweet. Next time I’m adding some minced veg and using less tomato sauce. Prob half of what the recipe calls for.
Mona Taleb says
I felt like the meat stuffing was too runny. How can I make it chunkier and more meatier
Lucy says
Hi Mona, if you like you could try reducing the amount of water and sauce. xx
Leanne Dick says
I made this on the weekend and whilst it was really yummy i found it very sweet. In my second batch i left out the bbq sauce and it didnt make much of a difference. Any ideas on what i can add or omit to make it less sweet?
Thanks
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Leanne, you could try using a different brand of tomato sauce perhaps?
Cherie says
I’m quite a pie fan. I have a breville from when pie makers became a thing. It makes 4 standard size pies. Your pies look smaller. Is the Kmart one for making party size pies? If so, do you think the recipe would suit bigger pies?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Cherie, the Kmart one uses 4 pastry circles to one sheet of pastry (so bigger than party pies but perhaps not as big as yours!). xx
