Add salt to the bread flour.

Add softened salted butter to the flour and mix well until it resembles fine crumbs.

Add water to the mixture and mix until combined.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 1 hour.

Chop and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes, onion, and sweet or turnip into pieces roughly the size of 1/3 of your pinky.

Chop the skirt steak into cubes the same size as the vegetables.

Mix the chopped steak and vegetables together with salt and black pepper for seasoning.

After 1 hour, divide the dough into 8 small portions.

Roll out each portion into an oval shape.

Place a portion of the filling onto the dough, ensuring a good mixture of steak and veggies.

Seal the edges of the dough without brushing any water or egg wash.

Make two open holes in each Cornish pasty before baking.

Brush the surface of the pasties with an egg wash made from 1 egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (about 175°C).

Bake the pasties for 40 to 50 minutes until golden brown.
