Method
Step 1:
You will need a 20 cm square, shallow 4 cm deep cake tin.
Step 2:
Dry fry the onion, carrots and beef together in a medium saucepan over a high heat until browned, then reduce the heat and add the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Marmite, flour and seasoning.
Step 3:
Stir well and cook for 1 minute then add the diced potato, pour over 150ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Step 4:
To make the pastry, place the flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
Step 5:
Cut the butter and lard into small pieces and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 6:
Add 5 tbsp water and bring the mixture to a ball, adding a little more water if necessary. Chill for 30 minutes.
Step 7:
Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6).
Step 8:
Dust a work surface with flour and roll out two thirds of the pastry to a square large enough to cover the base and sides of the cake tin.
Step 9:
Add the cooled filling ingredients, then roll out the remaining pastry for the lid.
Step 10:
Dampen the edge of the pastry then place the pastry lid on top of the pie and press the edges well to seal. Use a fork to pierce the top several times and brush with milk. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
