  • Combine 2 3/4 cups flour and kosher salt in a large bowl. Cut lard into flour mixture until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, tossing to mix. Gather dough into a ball, divide it in half, and wrap each piece in plastic wrap. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  • Mix 2 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, paprika, pepper, ginger, and allspice together in a bowl. Dredge steak pieces in seasoned flour and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in seasoned steak and onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent and steak is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Pour in beef broth and red wine; simmer until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
  • Roll out one pastry crust on a lightly floured surface to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Place crust into the pie plate, cover it loosely with plastic, and refrigerate. Roll out top crust for the pie and set it aside.
  • Stir potatoes and carrots into the skillet and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Transfer cooled beef mixture to the pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme, then cover with the top crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut vents in the crust or prick with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
