Preparation Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery into the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  3. Mix in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of salt until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Place the butter in a muffin tin and put it in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them halfway.
  9. Spoon the meat filling generously on top of the batter in each cup.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
