Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

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

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

Once the pastry has risen, loosely cover with tin foil
Ready for the lid

Serving suggestions

Serve with minty peas and boiled potatoes

Variations

Yield to the Delia (Smith) Effect: Add a few tablespoons of mushroom ketchup to the stock mixture.
