Savory steak and vegetable pasties, ideal for picnics or a cozy dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 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
  • 3 turnips, peeled and cubed
  • 1.5 cups chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions:
  • Combine flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and lard in a bowl. Use your fingertips to quickly blend the lard into the flour until it forms small pea-sized pieces. Pour in ice water and mix until a dough ball forms. If needed, add more water for moisture. Divide the dough into 6 balls, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Mix together in a bowl the steak, turnips, potatoes, onions, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Roll out a portion of dough on a floured surface until it's 1/4 inch thick. Use a cake pan to trace and cut out a 9-inch circle from the dough. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of steak mixture onto the center of the circle. Fold the edges of the circle up to meet along the top of the filling, then crimp the dough along the top to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining dough. Transfer the pasties to an ungreased baking sheet using a spatula.
  • Bake pasties in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden color. Serve either hot or at room temperature.
