Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 125 milliliters cold water
- 300 grams beef chuck, diced
- 150 grams potato, peeled and diced
- 100 grams yellow onion, finely chopped
- 100 grams carrot, peeled and diced
- 100 grams rutabaga or swede, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the cold water to the flour mixture while mixing with a fork, just enough to bring the dough together. Do not overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced beef, potato, onion, carrot, and rutabaga. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into four equal portions.
On a floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a circle about 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter.
Place a quarter of the beef and vegetable mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Brush the edges of the dough circles with a little cold water. Fold each circle in half over the filling to form a semi-circle, then crimp the edges to seal.
Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the pasties to cool for a few minutes after removing them from the oven before serving.
