Steak And Kidney Pie Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cut the beef into 2.5 - 4 cm pieces, discarding any obvious lumps of fat or gristle. With the kidney cut away the inner core of fat and tubes, and cut the rest into bite-sized chunks. In a large bowl place the steak pieces and calf kidneys and pour dark beer over top. Cover and leave for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. Separate meat from marinade and reserve marinade for later use.
  • Season the flour with mustard powder, salt and pepper and toss the steak and kidney in it to coat.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large pan and fry the meat for 5 minutes or until brown.
  • Cut the bacon into thick matchsticks and fry. Remove from saucepan and set aside.
  • Add the onions, bacon and mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the bay leaves, stout (reserved marinade), tomato paste, sprigs of thyme and stock.
  • Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Cover and simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the meat is tender.
  • When the meat is cooked, remove herbs from gravy; add salt and pepper to taste, adding a dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce to the mixture. Cool slightly and tip into a pie dish. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface a little bigger than the size of the dish using the trimmings to make a strip the width of the rim.
  • Brush the rim of the pie dish with beaten egg and lay the pastry strip on top to make a seal. Brush again with egg and lay the lid on top. Crimp or flute the edges, brush the lid with the remaining egg and make a slit in the top.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Serve with buttered spring cabbage and mashed potato.
  • Makes ± 10 deep pot pie foil plates (11,1 cm x 2,3 cm)
  • or 20 small pie foil plates
