BEEFSTEAK PIE WITH POTATO CRUST


1-1/2 lbs. round steak                                                 1 cup cold mashed potatoes
Salt                                                                              1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sifted flour                                                        Milik
3 tsp. baking powder

Cut the steak into strips an inch wide, and brown in hot fat in frying pan. Cover with boiling water and let simmer until tender. Add salt and pepper to season and put meat into a baking dish.  Make a slightly thickened gravy out of the drippings and pour over the meat. 

Sift together three times, the flour, salt and baking powder; add the potatoes and work in the shortening. Add the milk and mix to the soft dough. Handling very lightly, roll to fit the top of the baking dish. Cut two slits in the mile of the crust and bake about 25 minutes at 400 degrees.
