Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease a baking sheet with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the dairy-free margarine and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a little at a time, mixing with a fork or your hands until the dough comes together in a ball. Avoid overworking the dough.
Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining the diced beef, potato, swede, onion, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
After chilling, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle approximately 20cm (8 inches) in diameter on a floured surface.
Place a quarter of the filling mixture onto one side of each rolled dough circle, leaving a margin for sealing.
Brush a little water along the edges of the dough, fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges together. Crimp the edges tightly to seal the pasty.
Place the pasties onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
