Chilean Meat Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Filling:
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    2 onions, chopped
    1 pound ground beef
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
    1 cube beef bouillon
    1/2 cup hot water
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    1 cup black olives
    1/2 cup raisins
    Crust:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 pinch white sugar
    2/3 cup shortening (such as Crisco(R))
    6 tablespoons cold water, or as needed
    3 eggs, beaten
Preparation
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry onions until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, paprika, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Cook and stir until beef is browned, about 5 minutes more.
    Dissolve bouillon cube in hot water; stir into beef mixture. Add oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat until flavors combine, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in olives and raisins; remove from heat and let cool.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
    Sift flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 pinch sugar together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough sticks together. Shape dough into 2 equal balls. Roll out crusts to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place bottom crust in pie pan.
    Spoon filling into pie crust; use a slotted spoon to avoid transferring oil. Pour in beaten eggs; cover with top crust. Pinch edges together; cut 4 slits in the top for vents.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until golden, 35 to 40 minutes more.
