Prepare the pastry by cutting 375 grams of lard and 375 grams of butter into cubes.

Mix the lard and butter with 1.5 kilos of flour using your fingertips until combined.

Slice 4-6 potatoes thinly, about 600 grams total.

Peel and cube the swede (quantity not specified).

Chop 3 onions finely.

Cut 1 kilo of skirt beef into cubes, about 1 cm each, trimming off any sinewy bits.

Season the beef with normal table salt and black pepper.

Combine the sliced potatoes, cubed swede, chopped onions, and seasoned beef in a mixing bowl.

Roll out the pastry using a large clock as a template to create a giant pasty shape.

Fill one half of the pastry with the filling, ensuring not to overfill.

Crimp the edges of the pastry to seal it, ensuring it's well sealed to avoid leaks during baking.

Make a small slit in the top of the pasty to allow steam to escape.

Place the pasty on a baking tray and bake in the oven.
