Mexican Beef Pie
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups (190 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp (85 g) cold unsalted butter, diced
- ½ cup (125 ml) plain yogurt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) ice water
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 ½ lb (675 g) medium-lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 cup (250 ml) beef broth
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) chili sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) relish
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) prepared mustard
- 2 tsp (10 ml) hot sauce (optional)
- 1 cup (100 g) Tex-Mex cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the flour and salt. Add the butter and pulse a few times, until it forms pea-sized pieces. Add the yogurt and water. Pulse just until the dough starts coming together. Add more water, as needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form into a disc with your hands.
- On a floured work surface, roll the dough out until about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Line a 9-inch (23 cm) glass pie plate with the dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prick the dough all over with a fork. Cover with a piece of foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Remove the foil and weights.
