To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have sourdough beef and cheddar pasties using 21 ingredients and 21 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Sourdough beef and cheddar pasties:

1. Make ready For the filling:
2. Get olive oil
3. Get 1 yellow onion
4. Get 1 lb beef stew meat
5. Make ready 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
6. Get 1/2 tsp ground Kashmiri chili
7. Take 1/2 tsp ground coriander
8. Take 1 tsp ground Turmeric
9. Take 1 qt broth
10. Make ready to taste salt
11. Get 1 large turnip
12. Prepare 2 oz. cheddar cheese, diced
13. Take For the dough:
14. Make ready 1 1/2 cups ap flour
15. Prepare 1/8 cup unsalted butter
16. Prepare 1/2 tsp salt
17. Take 1/4 cup sourdough starter
18. Take 1/8 cup cheddar cheese, grated
19. Take 1/8 cup ice water
20. Prepare 1 egg

Cut a design (or initials) into one of the sides of the pasties to vent the steam. Place, fluted edges up, on the prepared baking sheet. The sourdough taste comes from a combination of Greek yogurt and sour cream that ferments the dough rather than using a starter. The longer you let the dough rise (ferment), the more sourdough-ey the bread tastes.

Instructions to make Sourdough beef and cheddar pasties:

1. Let's start on the filling. Pour some olive oil in a medium soup pot. Slice up a yellow onion and add it to the pot. Stir over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent.
2. Meanwhile, combine the 1/2 cup of flour and the spices from the filling section in a medium mixing bowl. Add the beef and toss it a bit to coat.
3. Now pour some olive oil in a frying pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, start moving the dredged beef chunks, one by one, into the pan to brown. Brown the beef chunks on all sides, transferring each chunk in with your onions as it finishes browning.
4. Add the soup base and about 1 qt of water. Simmer gently until the beef is tender, and then reduce the mixture to a gravy-like consistency. When you're happy with the consistency, adjust the seasoning, then chill.
5. Set a pot of salted water to boil, then peel and dice the turnip to about 1/2" chunks or smaller. Add these to the boiling water and blanch for about 3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and chill.
6. Dice up those 2 oz of good cheddar to about the same size as the turnip chunks.
7. When the beef and turnips are cooled off, mix them together with the cheese. Give it a taste. If it's good enough that you want to eat it on it's own, then it's ready to go.
8. While your filling is in the works, you might also find time to start preparing the dough. Combine the 3 cups of flour with salt. Dice the butter and cut it in with a pastry knife.
9. Mix in the sourdough starter and the grated cheddar.
10. Knead in some small splashes of cold water, just until you can form a nice ball of firm, but elastic dough. Wrap the dough tight in plastic wrap and chill overnight, 8 hours or so.
11. Alright! Time for assembly. Pull out your dough to let it warm up a bit. Cut it in half. Grab 2 big sheets of parchment and a rolling pin.
12. When the dough has warmed up a bit and become more malleable, place one half between your 2 sheets of parchment and roll it out to about 1/8" thick.
13. At this point, you should get your oven on to 375F.
14. Cut out a big circle from your dough. I used a cake pan to make a circular mark. Then used a knife to cut the circle out. I ended up with somewhere around a 9" circle.
15. Place about 1/2 of your mix in the center of your dough round. Fold the dough closed over the filling and gently press the edges to seal.
16. Now you need to sorta carefully press that big meat lump out to fill the dough pocket and try to expel any excess air. You should be left with a narrow edge, and an evenly filled pocket of dough.
17. With the tines of a fork, crimp along that narrow edge of the pocket to pinch it tight. I start at one side and then line up the first tine of the fork with the last tine mark in the dough as I work all the way around.
18. Repeat from step 13 with the other half of your dough in order to make your second pastie.
19. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Add a few little slices to the top of the pasties so that steam can escape as they cook.
20. Whisk together the egg and the water (the last 2 ingredients) and brush this mix over the pasties. This will give them a nice shine.
21. Bake these bad Larry's for about 45 minutes. I like to check in once or twice just to make sure nothing goes haywire along the way.

The sourdough taste comes from a combination of Greek yogurt and sour cream that ferments the dough rather than using a starter. The longer you let the dough rise (ferment), the more sourdough-ey the bread tastes. More pasties and pies: Spicy Beef Empanadas - homemade baked beef empanadas filled with spicy ground beef, jalapeňos, cumin, paprika, coriander, and lots of herbs. Chicken and Ham Pie - traditional English cooking: chicken and ham pie with peas, a luscious white sauce, and puff pastry. For this recipe, sourdough starter is used to make a levain (a sourdough preferment, for those of you with bread baking lingo) that is mixed into an enriched dough, which then encases a square of butter and gets rolled and folded three times before being shaped into Danishes.

Learning to slow down and enjoy your life is one facet of adopting a green lifestyle that most people appreciate. This is possible no matter how filled and frantic your life is. We must get back to the point where it was a lot better to prevent disease in the first place. Most folks think nothing of mistreating their bodies now and fixing them with a pill later. It’s impossible to turn around without being bombarded by ads about the latest pill to treat your health problems. There are certain pills that help, but only if you make a number of needed alterations in your life. As soon as your body wears out, you cannot trade it in for a new one, like your car. You must learn how to take care of your body as early as possible. Your body needs sufficient amounts of nutrients to function at its optimum levels.

Your body will begin to work as it is supposed to when you give it the right nutrition. As a result, your immune system will easily fend off maladies.

Make sure you add these superfoods into your diet every day. Why not include a few beans or blueberries? Things that are green, such as broccoli, spinach, and green tea.
