Dice the onion small and soften it in olive oil for 4 minutes.
Add the ground beef and brown for 7 minutes, until the color changes.
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, salt, and black pepper.
Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water, add it to the filling, and thicken for 8 minutes.
Cool the filling for 15 minutes; hot filling melts the dough.
Line small molds with tart dough, divide in the beef filling, and cover with puff pastry.
Brush with beaten egg and bake at 200°C for 26 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Instead of Vegemite, you can use a little molasses and extra Worcestershire sauce; the goal is not sweetness, but dark umami in the meat sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Remove the pies from the molds while hot and serve them like match-day snacks with ketchup, pickled cucumber, and green salad if desired.
