Ingredients

6 servings

•

4 cups all-purpose flour
•

2 teaspoons salt
•

1.5 cups lard
•

10 tablespoons ice water
•

2 pounds top round steak, cut into 1/4 inch cubes

•

5 red potatoes, peeled and chopped

1.5 cups chopped onion

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

Place flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and lard in a bowl. Quickly rub lard into flour with your fingertips until it resembles small peas. Pour in ice water and form into a ball. Add more water if it feels too dry. Divide dough into 6 balls; wrap in plastic and chill for one hour.
In a bowl, combine steak, turnips, potatoes, onions, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Roll out one ball of dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a cake pan, trace a 9-inch circle in dough; cut out the circle. Place about 1 1/2 cups of steak mixture into middle of the circle. Fold edges of the circle up to meet along the top of filling; crimp dough along the top to seal. Repeat until dough is used up. Use a spatula to transfer pasties to an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake pasties in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.
