INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start by peeling, and dicing up the Potato into small pieces.

2. Place a sauce pan of Water on a high heat, and when it comes up to a boil, add the Potato.

3. Boil the Potato for around 7 minutes until it starts to get slightly soft, then drain.

4. Next, take the Steak and cut it up into small pieces, slightly bigger than the pieces of Potato.

5. Place a frying pan on a high heat, add a small dash of Olive Oil, and as soon as it starts to gently smoke, add the Steak.

6. Season with Salt and lots of black Pepper, and we want to flash fry the Steak for 2 minutes to caramelise.

7. Remove the Steak, and dice up the Onion, a little smaller than the Potato.

8. Turn down the heat and add the Onion to the same pan.

9. Season, and caramelise the Onion.

10. Then, we want to add a couple of Tsp of some Garlic paste, and a couple of Tbsp of plain flour.

11. Stir, then deglaze the pan with a few Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce.

12. Stir everything for a minute or 2, then pour in some Beef stock.

13. Reduce down the Stock until you have a thick sticky gravy, then add the Potato, add more black Pepper, stir through, and leave to cool down.

14. At this point, beat an Egg in a small bowl, pre heat the oven to 180 degrees, and roll out the Puff Pastry.

15. Cut the Pastry into 2 A4 sized sheets approximately.

16. Once the Steak mix has cooled, add half to each Pastry, placing it on one half of the Puff Pastry.

17. Brush around the edges of the Pastry, then fold over, and crimp the edges so they are tightly sealed.

18. Brush the Pastry squares in the Egg wash, and finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.

19. Place the Pastry’s in the Oven, and bake them for around 25 minutes, until the Pastry is puffed up and golden brown.

20. Remove the Steak slices, and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes before you serve, and tuck in.
