Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons 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 all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cold butter
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

Directions

• 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.
• 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.
• Uncover; stir in the potatoes. Cook until heated through. Spoon meat mixture into a greased 7-in. pie plate or 2-cup baking dish.
• 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.
• 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.
• Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until pastry is lightly browned on edges. Yield: 2 servings.
