Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 recipe pastry for a (10 inch) double crust pie
• 2 cups thinly sliced potatoes
• ½ cup sliced onion
• ½ pound boneless beef round steak, cut into thin strips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Arrange layer of potatoes on half of each pastry square, top with layer of onion and then with beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter.

Step 3

Moisten pastry edges with cold water and fold over to make triangles; press edges together to make tight seal. A tight seal retains steam and makes juicy pastries.

Step 4

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.
