Ingredients 

Pastry

  • 500 g plain flour
  • 250 g unsalted butter cold, diced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6-8 tablespoon cold water

  • 400 g beef skirt diced
  • 300 g potatoes peeled and diced
  • 150 g swede peeled and diced
  • 1 onion finely chopped

  • 1 egg beaten, for glazing

Instructions 

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
