Ingredients
- 130 g Beef chuck, raw
- 100 g Potatoes, russet, raw
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 60 g Beef broth
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose

Method
- Cut the beef into small 1.5 cm cubes and the potato into similar-sized chunks.
- Melt the butter in a pot and brown the beef over high heat for 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden.
