A conveniently portable meal that can be eaten hot or cold.
Ingredients
1 lb. braising steak, trimmed and coarsely minced or cut into small pieces
8 oz potatoes. Peeled and finely diced
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Set oven to 425 Fahrenheit or 7.
Mix together the filling ingredients in a bowl and season well.
Divide the pastry into eight pieces and roll out on a lightly floured surface into rounds about 8 inches in diameter (use a saucepan lid as a cutter).
Divide the filling equally between the pastry rounds and dampen the edges with water.
Fold the pastry over and seal well, fluting the edges with the fingers.
Place on a lightly floured baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes; reduce oven to 350 Fahrenheit or mark four and cook for a further 45 minutes, covering the pasties with grease proof paper if they begin to brown too much.
