Rich Steak and Kidney Pie

After a visit to a local farm shop i managed to get hold of some fine ingredients for this excellent winter warmer. Enjoy

These are the ingredients for one smallish pie, will feed two hungry people.

200g Diced steak
200g of pigs kidney
One large red onion
6 bay leaves
A beef stock cube
Salt and pepper to season
Worcester sauce

roughly chop the onion and put it in a large pan with a small glug of worcester sauce. When the onion starts to soften add the steak and brown slightly. Chop the kidney into chunks the same size as the steak and add to the pan. Once the kidney is added put in the stock cube and cover with water. This needs to be left untill the steak becomes melt in the mouth soft.

For your pasrty:
About 125g of butter (you can substitute part of this for lard if you want)
125g of Flour
Pinch of salt

Cube the butter whilst still hard and rub into the flour. Once it starts to bind into a doughroll into a ball and place in the fridge till the steak and kidney is ready.

Once the steak is soft (leave for as long as you possibly can) use a slotted spoon to move the meat into your pie case. Add some of the gravy to the case but not too much and then top with your pastry. Pop in the oven till your pastry is golden brown. Whilst the pie is baking, reduce the remaining gravy to be served with the pie.

I recommend big servings of mash!!! Print this post
