{{RecipeIngredients
| 600 g (1lb 5 oz) diced [[stewing]] steak, diced
| 280 g (10 oz) [[beef kidney]], trimmed and finely sliced
| 2 tablespoons [[plain flour]]
| 150ml/5fl oz [[beef stock]] mixed with a dash of [[red wine]]. Half an Oxo cube would do at a push
| Salt and [[freshly ground black pepper]] to taste
| Pinch of [[mustard]]
| 1 large [[onion]], peeled and chopped
| 2 tablespoons freshly chopped [[parsley]]
| 1 tablespoon [[tomato purée]]
| 225g/8oz ready rolled [[puff pastry]]

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - Gas 6 - Moderately hot)
** If your electric oven has the options of upper, lower, both elements, use the lower element.
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Trim any excess fat from the steak and the kidneys
| Season the [[flour]] and add the steak and kidney and coat well
| shake off any excess flour
| Layer the [[onion]], meat and [[parsley]] into a buttered pie dish
| Mix the [[tomato purée]], beef stock and [[mustard]]
| Pour the stock mixture into the dish so that the meat is just over half covered. Add extra water if required
| Roll out the [[pastry]] to 2mm (1/8") thick and cut a long strip to fit around the edge of the pie dish
| [[Brush]] the edge of the dish with water and press the strip on to it.
| [[Brush]] the top of the strip with more water and lay the [[pastry]] on the top to make a lid
| Trim away any excess and crimp the edge. Cut a 1cm (½") hole in the top to allow [[steam]] to escape or fit a [[pie funnel]].
| Refrigerate the pie for 15 minutes
| [[Bake]] in the oven for 30 minutes in the middle of the oven until the [[pastry]] has risen and is golden brown
| Once the pastry has risen, lay a sheet of [[tin foil]] very loosely over the top of the pastry to prevent it overcooking
| Lower the heat to 180° C (350° F - Gas 4 - moderate) and cook for a further 90 minutes
