Steps

  • Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then rub in butter and lard until reaching a breadcrumb consistency.
  • Incorporate 4 to 6 tablespoons of cold water to form a dough ball and refrigerate.
  • Sauté onion, carrot, and celery in oil for 5 to 10 minutes until soft.
  • Add the diced potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Stir in corned beef, sauce, and beef stock, then simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
  • Season to taste and allow the filling to cool completely in a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare a 23cm metal pie plate.
  • Roll out two-thirds of the pastry to 3mm thickness and line the pie plate.
  • Add parsley to the filling, spoon it into the plate, and cover with the remaining pastry lid.
  • Seal the edges, brush with egg, vent the top, and bake for 35 minutes until golden.
