Instructions
-
Prepare the Skillets: Begin by gathering two skillets—one should be a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, which will be used for the baking process. Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.
-
Cook the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Once the beef starts to brown, add the chopped onion, salt, pepper, ground coriander, ground cumin, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onions have softened. Drain the mixture to remove excess fat, then set it aside.
-
Heat the Oven-Safe Skillet: Place your oven-safe 10-inch skillet into the preheated oven, allowing it to heat up. This step ensures that the batter will cook evenly and form a crisp edge when poured into the skillet.
-
Prepare the Yorkshire Batter: While the skillet is heating, grab a bowl and combine the flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Slowly incorporate the egg mixture into the flour, stirring until a batter forms.
-
Assemble the Pie: Once the oven-safe skillet is hot, carefully remove it from the oven using oven mitts. Pour half of the prepared batter into the skillet, ensuring it evenly covers the bottom. Next, spoon the beef mixture over the batter, spreading it out to form a uniform layer. Finally, pour the remaining batter over the top of the meat.
-
Bake the Pie: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the Yorkshire batter has risen and turned golden brown. You may notice a slight puffing up of the batter as it bakes—this is the perfect sign that it’s ready!
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the Beef Yorkshire Pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve it as a comforting main dish alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the delicious blend of savory beef and fluffy batter!
Recipe Notes
- Skillet Size: Be sure to use an oven-safe skillet that can accommodate the full amount of batter and filling. If your skillet is too small, you can use a larger one, but adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Spice Adjustments: If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add a pinch of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Vegetable Add-ins: For added flavor and nutrition, consider mixing in vegetables such as peas, carrots, or mushrooms into the beef mixture before adding it to the pie.
This Beef Yorkshire Pie makes an excellent meal for busy nights when you need something that’s both filling and quick to prepare. With a golden, crispy exterior and a savory, juicy beef filling, it’s a meal that will leave everyone satisfied and asking for more.
