Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
-
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Cut in 1/2 cup shortening until the mixture resembles small particles.
-
Gradually stir in 5 tablespoons cold water using a fork until the dough just holds together.
-
Roll dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill while preparing the filling.
-
Peel and dice the potato into 1/2-inch cubes.
-
Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
-
If using, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water for the egg wash.
-
Mix 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a plastic bag.
-
Add cubed steak to the bag and shake until evenly coated.
-
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven with a little butter over medium-high heat.
-
Add coated steak and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides.
-
Stir in any remaining flour mixture from the bag.
-
Add 1 cup beef broth to the skillet.
-
Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.

Add more broth if the mixture becomes too dry during simmering.

Transfer the meat and gravy mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
-
Distribute diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and minced onion evenly over the meat.
-
Pour 1/2 cup additional beef broth over the vegetables.

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry into a circle 1/2-inch larger than the pie plate.

Place the pastry over the filling, sealing edges to the pie plate.

Cut several steam vents into the top of the pastry.

Brush the top with the egg-water mixture.
