Answers:
I would definitely cook the filling first, and use minced steak or minced beef, or minced pork. Pastry cooks fast, and needs regular checking. Not too high temperature, otherwise it will burn before it is cooked through, resulting in a stogy middle or base.
Get another recipe book, there are such great ones that describe in detail
