Classic Steak and Kidney Pie
Ingredients:1 tablespoon cooking oil, 1½ pounds (720 g) beef chuck steak, diced, 1/2 pound (240 g) ox kidney, diced, 12 oz (360 g) puff pastry, 2 yellow onions, peeled and chopped, 3 carrots, peeled and roughly diced, unsalted butter, 4 large flat mushrooms, sliced, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon tomato purée, 1 bay leaf, 2 cups (500 ml) beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, 1 large egg, beaten, for glazing
Instructions: In a large frying pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Season diced beef with salt and black pepper. Add meat to a hot pan and fry until golden. Remove fried beef from the pan and transfer to a large saucepan.
Add more cooking oil to a frying pan. Season kidney with salt and black pepper and fry until golden. Remove from the frying pan and transfer to the same saucepan.
Melt a knob of unsalted butter in a frying pan. Add onions and carrots and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan and transfer to the saucepan with meat.
Melt more butter in a frying pan. Add sliced mushrooms and fry, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Keep fried mushrooms to one side.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomato purée, cooked mushrooms, and bay leaf. Pour in beef stock, reduce heat to low, and bring to a simmer, skimming off any fat. The meat should be covered with a stock.
Simmer, partially covered for 1½-2 hours or until meat is tender. Skim several times during cooking time. Taste for seasoning. Stir in a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 2-pint (1L) pie dish and allow cooling completely.
Preheat oven to 425ºF (210ºC). Roll the pastry 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Using a sharp knife, cut a strip of pastry to sit around the rim of the pie dish. Brush the rim with the beaten egg, then apply the strip. Brush with beaten egg again. Push down around the sides, trim and crimp.
Brush completely with beaten egg and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pie is golden brown.
