Ingredients

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening
1 cup cold water
1 pound boneless round or chuck steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
¼ rutabaga, cubed
1 carrots, diced
salt and pepper to taste
6 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine meat, potatoes, onion, rutabaga and chopped carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Divide dough into six pieces, and shape into balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6 inch round. Place approximately 1 cup filling on one half of each. Dot each with 1 tablespoon margarine. Draw the other half of the pastry over the filling. Crimp edges to seal in filling. Prick with a fork and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
