....wondering why you might have an issue with the "grey" description for the stage of cooking...would you feel better if it was referred to as medium rare cubed meat?...its about the same thing....

LOL!
 
Just because: https://www.google.com/search?q=graying+meat&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS525US525&oq=graying+meat&aqs=chrome.0.69i59.9671j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8
 
And that's even searching the verb, as in "graying" it like you said.
 
Gray/grey = bad meat to most people.
 
I understand what you mean and it's no biggie!!!!!!!! I personally just like the term color or browning better. :)
 
Any recipe I have ever seen that calls for ground beef to be cooked in a pan first says to brown it.
 
CM: The meat will never be dry inside the pie, unless overcook while preparing filling.
The filling should only brown and should be juicy. It is cooled and used to fill.
When you bake, juices trapped in the filler will come out and be juicy pie.

If you still want more juicy, you can add one to fill mashed tomatoes, ground paprika and olive oil. That will make your pie dripping juice and enhances the flavor.

Thanks guys, sorry forgot to mention the filling. First time out so I wanted to do something simple that i'm familiar with, made a version of chicken pot pie. Smoked a whole chicken over apple wood, then added corn,peas,carrots,celery, to the chicken after it had been cooled and diced. Made a gravy with roux and chicken stock,fresh rosemary,garlic,shallot that I cooled and then put some of that in with the filling. 
 
Making these again soon with some fresh bison meat, then when I have time I will do pulled pork. 
 
Empanadas de Pollo Cazuela Americano? Sounds awesome, FB.

Although the use of Cazuela is totally misleading here because it is a literal translation for pot and really doesn't make sense unless you know what Chicken Pot Pie is.

Just curious.  Will you be graying the bison meat or browning it?
 
For the bison I figured I would boil it then hit it with a blow torch  :P  all kidding aside my local spot has some really nice bison in right now, all cuts, ribeyes,sirloin,ny strip,short rib,etc. Thinking about grilling some sirloin to rare then making cheese steak hand pies.  
 
THP the wash was one yolk with a splash of double cream. then baked. can't believe iv'e never made these before. great for taking out on the ice while fishing or on the MT while boarding. :cheers:  
 
Best part is you can fill them with whatever you want. Next time you make a large meal instead of putting leftovers in the fridge have some pastry ready to go and bake some off. Indian curries, BBQ chicken, whatever. Now that you nailed the technique!
 
I just love me some meat pies.  A few years back a bunch of Aussies on here were showing them off.  I think there even might have been a throwdown.
