When I was growing up, Mom let us pick our birthday meals. This one was a frequent choice. I made sure to copy down the recipe to use in my own home years later. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 pound beef top round steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1-1/2 cups beef broth |
1 cup cubed cooked potatoes |
crust: |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons cold butter |
3 tablespoons shortening |
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water |
1 teaspoon milk |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper and paprika; add beef, a few pieces at a time. Seal bag and shake to coat.
2. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion in oil until beef is browned and onion is tender. Add broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until meat is tender.
3. Uncover; stir in the potatoes. Cook until heated through. Spoon meat mixture into a greased 7-in. pie plate or 2-cup baking dish.
4. For the crust, in a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
5. Roll out pastry to fit baking dish. Use a small cookie cutter to cut a shape in the center of the pastry; place pastry over meat mixture. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of dish; flute edges. Brush with milk.
6. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until pastry is lightly browned on edges. Yield: 2 servings.
