Ingredients

• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 grams Beef skirt steak, finely diced
• 200 grams Potatoes, peeled and diced finely
• 100 grams Rutabaga (swede), peeled and diced finely
• 100 grams Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 100 grams Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter, cubed, and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the diced beef, potatoes, rutabaga, and onion. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing well.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Cut out 4 circles approximately 15cm in diameter.

Step 6

Place an even amount of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a semi-circle, crimping the edges tightly to seal.

Step 7

Transfer the pasties to the prepared baking tray, brush the tops with beaten egg, and bake for 40–50 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the pasties bake, prepare the garlic aioli by combining the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Mix well, adjust seasoning to taste, and set aside.

Step 9

Remove the pasties from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving with the garlic aioli on the side.
