Ingredients 

Pastry

  • 500 g plain flour for the pastry
  • 250 g butter cold and diced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6-8 tablespoon cold water

Filling

  • 300 g beef skirt diced
  • 200 g potatoes diced
  • 150 g swede diced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 egg beaten, for glazing

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and cut into 4 circles. Mix the filling ingredients together and season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling between the pastry circles.
  4. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, fold over and crimp to seal. Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with more beaten egg.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.
