I found this recipe here: http://australianfood.about.com/od/beeflamb/r/AussieMeatPie.htm

Where you can find the ingredients in Madrid:

Worcestershire and Vegemite are the more difficult ones to find.

I bought Worcestershire Sauce at 'Sabores del Mundo' en Gomez Ulla 10,metro Manuel Becerra, I have also found it at Gourmet section of Corte Inglés.

Vegemite can also be bought at 'Sabores del Mundo' or  at 'Australianz shop' Costanilla de los desamparados 10, metro Antón Martín.

My comments to the Recipe:

I didn't know the taste of Worcester Sauce nor Vegemite.
Eaten alone, vegemite can be bitter, but in this recipe the mixture of all the ingredients is a perfect combination, it is a perfect match to the meat.
