Method:

• Sizzle the beef in a frying pan until browned

• Pour on the beef stock and then the cornflour mix

• Thicken to your taste and leave to cool

• Cut two pieces of pastry (180mm x 94mm, if you want to do it by the book) and egg wash the edges

• Spoon on the beef filling on one piece of pastry and place the other on top

• Fork the edges to seal and score six lines in the middle of the pastry, then egg wash your bake

• Place in the oven for 20 minutes at 200°C or until golden brown and piping hot
