Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Divide pastry in three equal parts. Roll 1/3 to make 8x15 inch rectangle. Trim edges and cut to make two 7-inch squares. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with other two thirds of pastry. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
Arrange a layer of potatoes on half of each pastry square, top with a layer of onion and then with beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter. (Assembly time: 15 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Moisten pastry edges with cold water and fold over to make triangles; press edges together to make a tight seal. A tight seal retains steam and makes juicy pastries. (Sealing time: 10 minutes)
04
Step
1 hrs
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Serve hot with chili sauce, ketchup, or pickle relish or serve cold for sandwiches. (Baking time: 60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of Worcestershire sauce to the beef. Using Yukon Gold potatoes will give a creamier texture.
Ensure the beef is cut thinly for even cooking. A well-sealed pasty is key to preventing leaks and keeping the filling moist.
These pasties freeze well! Bake, cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze. Reheat in a moderate oven until warmed through.

Apr 13, 2025My family loves these. I sometimes add a bit of carrot or turnip to the filling for extra veggies. They're great for picnics!

Feb 17, 2025The key is definitely the tight seal! I had a couple leak on my first try, but after that, they came out perfectly juicy.
