A quintessential British dish, Steak and Kidney Pie is a hearty and comforting meal. It features tender chunks of steak and kidney enveloped in a rich, savoury gravy, all encased in a buttery, flaky pastry.

Ingredients:

Servings

500
beef steak, cubed
250
lamb or beef kidney, cleaned and cubed
1
 
large onion, chopped
2
 
cloves garlic, minced
2
 
carrots, chopped
2
tbsp 
plain flour
500
ml

1
tsp 
Worcestershire sauce
1
tsp

Salt and pepper, to taste
1
 
sheet of ready-made puff pastry

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 160°C.
In a large pan, brown the steak and kidney pieces. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté onion, garlic, and carrots until soft.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for a minute.
Gradually add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring continuously.
Return the meat to the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 2 hours.
Once the filling is cooked, let it cool slightly. Pour it into a pie dish.
Cover with puff pastry, sealing the edges. Make a small slit in the centre.
Brush the pastry with beaten egg.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is golden.

To Serve:

Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving. Accompany with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a complete meal.

Notes:

The pie can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. Reheat in the oven before serving.
