Here's a couple of ways.
3D contour, advantage is smaller program and better smoothing. Disadvantage is not a constant stepover on the surface.
Scallop, Advantage is a more constant stepover but if you look at the corners you'll see it's quite wavy in the Z axis so you don't get good smoothing and arc fitting.
Files attached.

Edit. Forgot to mention I added a patch surface I've selected in the 3d contour op to stop machining the inside of the pocket. It's selected on the geometry tab under model so on this op sees the patch, it's not selected in the setup.
