List of ingredients for Steak and kidney pudding


* 350 g( 12 oz) Self-raising flour
* 175 g (6 oz) Shredded beef suet (Atora)
* Pinch of Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper
'''Filling'''

* 560 g (1¼ lb) chuck steak / braising steak
* 275 g (10 oz) ox Kidney - trimmed to 225 g (8 oz), ''some supermarkets sell the above, ready trimmed, in one packet''
* 2 tablespoons Plain flour
* Big pinch of Mustard powder
* Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper
* Handful of fresh Parsley, chopped
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 Oxo cube, crumbled
* 1 medium Onion, peeled and sliced

===Method===
'''Pastry'''
* You can do this in a Food processor, but don't over-mix it
* Sift the Flour, Salt into a large mixing bowl
* Season with Black pepper
* Add the Suet, a few drops of water and combine with the Flour, using a palette knife
* Continue stirring, adding a few drops of water at a time until it starts to become a little clay-like
* Stop adding water now and mix with your hands
* Keep mixing until you have a smooth elastic Dough. You can always make small adjustments by adding a little more Flour or water as needed
* Divide the Dough into ¼ for the lid and ¾ t line the bowl
* Roll out a circle, quite thick, about a foot in diameter and press into your pie-bowl
* Roll the remainder out as a lid so that it sits over the edges of the lined bowl
'''Filling'''
* Trim the Meat and Kidneys of excess Fat etc. so you have the correct weight. Feed your cats or dogs with the remainder!
* Season the Flour with Salt, Pepper and Mustard
* Dredge the Meat and Kidney in the seasoned Flour
* Add all of the filling ingredients to a separate bowl. Crumble in the Oxo cube. Mix well with your hands.
* Fill the suet-lined bowl with the filling ingredients.
* Shake any remaining Flour over the top and ''just'' cover the Meat with cold water
* Add a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce
* Season with Salt and Pepper
'''Wrapping and cooking'''
* Cover with a double layer of tin-foil, leaving a pleat for expansion
* Tie with kitchen string and make a handle affair if you are able. It assists with removal later
* Fill a lidded pan ¾ full with Boiling water and lower the bowl into it, cover and Boil for 5 hours. Yes that's five hours!
* '''Set a timer for every hour''' so you can check that it's not boiled dry and top up if needed
