Haricot Pie Method

Melt the bacon fat for the filling in a saucepan and add the onion and cook until golden then take out 1 tablespoonful and put aside for the topping. Place the steak into the pan in which the onion was cooked. Add the salt, pepper and plain flour and cook stirring well over medium heat until the meat changes colour. Add the water and stir untill the mixture comes to the boil. Lower the heat then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir in the peas, carrot and parsnips and allow the mixture to cool.

Sift the dry ingredients together for the topping, rub in the shortening and add the reserved tablespoonful of chopped onion. Beat the egg yolk with the water and stir into the mixture making a firm dough. Knead on a floured board until smooth. Place the cold cooked meat and vegetable mixture in a pie dish. Roll the pastry to fit the top of the Haricot Pie. Trim the edges and glaze the top of the Haricot Pie with milk then sprinkle with the grated cheese. Make a few slits in the crust of the Haricot Pie to allow the steam to escape. Bake the Haricot Pie in a hot oven 425 degrees for about 20 minutes.
