• Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 6 round springform pan with straight sides and set aside.
• Heat the butter and water for the crust just until it comes to a boil. Add the hot liquid to the flour and salt and stir together until it comes together to form a ball of dough. Take two thirds of the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Keep the rest of the dough warm. Roll the crust until its ¼ thick.
• Place the round into the prepared pan. Gently press the dough into the edge of the pan.
• Fill het pan with the beef filling. Take the rest of the dough and roll it out into a ¼ thick circle. Place the top onto the pan and seal the edges. Cut slits on top with a knife and brush with the lightly beaten egg.
• Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
