[@rickbear7249]

Keef, another classic pie. Of course, the famous Browns Beef & Guinness Pie is a Puff Pastry Top pie, as versus your proper "pie" creation. A couple of suggestions, which you/people might like to try: 1. Try using the bottles of Guinness FOREIGN EXTRA next time you make a Beef and Guinness Pie. It's a much stronger Guinness, so gives more of that delicious Guinness flavour. 2. Most Beef & Guinness Pies use some brown sugar to counter the slightly bitter taste of cooked Guinness. My suggestion is that you replace the sugar with Black Treacle, which will increase the richness of your gravy -- in a similar way to browning the meat -- as well as adding a bit of sweetness to balance the Stout. Definitely agree your use of a full pie crust. I thought I'd been robbed when I only got a puff pastry top at Browns in Oxford. Keef on Cooking, Rick

[@hakanozbay1077]

Hello Keef, I admire what you do over there. And a question for you and your recipe. Is there a chance to use butter instead of lard for the Beef and Guiness pie ? Actually I never used lard for my recipes. Best regards!!

[@Keefcooks]

Yes, butter will work fine.

You, sir, are amazing. Lard is HOLY UNTO THE LORD.

[@SuperFourwinns]

I have been a meat cutter for 35 years..............you were doing it right with the knife steel, going toward you..............when you steel your knife, do it soft with out hardly any pressure on the blade at all. You are just straightening the tiny teeth on the knife's edge. Remember, softer the better. If that won't make a difference then the whet stone is then needed. Sharpen the knife the same amount of strokes on each side of the knife........I really enjoy your channel....

My mistake the video discussing puff pastry is "Room Service from Mad Men". I want to say that I discovered your channel while researching the long egg. Your video is by far the best out there. I just watched a bunch of your videos today and I'm adding the chips video to my short list of favorites. This is partly due to my fascination with the chip butty that goes back the attempt by MC D's to ban chips from food vendors at the London Olympics. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

Extra tip: Don't sharpen your knives over the top of food. Running the iron over the knife blade produces tiny shards of metal that you are literally seasoning your food with. You sharpen your knife over the sink, then rinse the knife off (and washing any further shards in the sink down the drain).

What’s the difference between hot water pastry and pastry used for Cornish pasties ?

[@Keefcooks]

You can use hot water pastry for pasties, but conventional shortcrust (where the fat is rubbed in rather than melted) is more common.

[@rickbear7249]

Keef, A couple of years back (in the days before Covid-19) I discovered "Guinness Nigerian Foreign Extra Stout" in the supermarket. It's a more intensely flavoured Guinness, brewed with more hops, that makes a truly Moorish Guinness Pie. I also add some Black Treacle as the sweetener, to offset the bitterness of the Guinness, as well as it being my Lancashire gran's trick to add even more of that caramelised flavour we get from browning our stewing beef. Anyhow, love your Guinness Pie recipe, Keef. Just thought I'd mention the Foreign Guinness in case others haven't yet discovered it. You'll find it in the Foreign Foods section, rather than in the beers, wines, and spirits section. Rick

[@Keefcooks]

I'll keep an eye out for that Guiness but I've never seen or heard of it before.

Great vid Keef - I'm going to make this pie the first chance I get! Might be worth you splitting out the knife sharpening segment into a separate video - actually, could be an idea to do a little video series of hints and tips like that : how to sharpen knives, how to use the sous vide etc. I think you already did at least one like this about cleaning pans?

The Pie guy. Meat pies that is. I'll have to give this one a go in this Fall. Too hot here now to even think about turning on the oven. 103ºf (39.4ºc) today. Would the addition of peas completely mess this up? Also, I've never seen beef shins sold here in Texas. Apparently we ship our shins to you Brits there. Does the choice of beef really matter? Thanks!

[@Keefcooks]

Peas - if you like! Choice of beef - generally you want something that has a lot of collagen in it. This breaks down after about 3 hours of cooking and gives a lovely unctuousness to the gravy. But regular steak cuts will do fine.

Revisiting this in 2022. Keef, how about updating your Beef and Guinness Pie recipe to the famous Brown's version? That's the one with button mushrooms in it.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

If you don't like kale, try making Portuguese kale soup. newengland.com/today/food/soups-stews-chowders/soups/ruth-odonnells-portuguese-kale-soup/ (1) Use half the recommended amount of kale. (Otherwise, you end up with kale with soup in it instead of soup with kale in it.) (2) If you can't find linguica sausage, use any spicy sausage (e.g., Mexican chorizo). Or if you don't like spicy foods, use any sausage that you like. (It won't be authentic, but it'll be edible.)

[@mkelebay]

Fairly certain that the Steel you were using was a sharpening steel, not a honing steel, I suggest using a honing steel, you can use them everyday without removing material, it realigns the blade edge. A sharpening steel is actually removing material, do that every day, and within a few months your knife is gonna be a metal skewer.

[@Keefcooks]

Fairly certain it isn't - my knives aren't skewers yet

Could one use Jameson instead of Guinness? Also, could one add a bit of garlic to the Colcannon, or would that be too much? This looks delish. You've earned another subscriber! Off to peruse your vid list and run a marathon tonight with my Daughter; she loves watching cooking shows and vids with me.

[@Keefcooks]

BahstX the only Jameson I know of is a whisky, so no, that wouldn't do. You can use any stout-type beer (thick, creamy, very dark and bitter beer). Garlic in the colcannon - I don't think that's traditional, but it can't hurt! Enjoy watching the videos. :-)

[@stamasd8500]

Jameson however works very well in the same room as the pie. You know, kinda like a Churchill martini and vermouth. :)

[@Wotdermatter]

Keef, regardless of how many so-called "celebrity chefs," including Ramsay who surprised me the first time I saw him do that considering he went through an apprenticeship, use a steel the same way you have been advised to do, I would like to point out a couple of things. First, the reverse up the steel instead of down is a relatively recent idea. Second, in fact, the steel is not meant to or designed to sharpen a knife. Rather it is used to "hone," a blade and straighten the microscopic dents, chips, and other imperfections that occur from use. Third, why do you think there is a guard between the handle and the steel itself? It was placed there to stop the blade striking the hand as the blade is drawn down the blade. It is totally useless when the blade is drawn UP the blade. Also, you found how difficult it is to change from down to up the blade. Think about the biological movement involved. Fourth, if you are more comfortable drawing the knife down the steel, I ask, why changes? Fifth, and last, remember when you were young and your mother took you to the local butcher's shop? How did the butcher hone his knife blade? He used a down stroke, never up. Very good idea to use whet (yes, that is the correct spelling) stone rather than pay somebody to use a grinder. Actually, a diamond sharpening device is another very good way to sharpen blades. Incidentally, I cooked professionally for over 50 years and although supposed to be retired, still get calls to do consulting, teaching, and prepare special affairs.

[@rickbear7249]

Keef, you mentioned Oil Stones vs Water Stones. That reminded me of something in the back of my mind. Putting oil on a water sharpening stone will ruin it. Something to do with the oil soaking into and damaging the material? You also have to thoroughly soak the water stone in water before use, yet it's equally important you shouldn't leave it in water after you've finished. As for using mineral oil on oil stones; that's because cooking oil might go rancid. Someone told me this stuff, once upon a time. You just jogged my memory. One last thing about water stones. They're not suitable in temperatures below freezing. So, obviously, totally unsuitable for the Yorkshire climate. Stay sharp, Rick

[@Keefcooks]

Neither Mary Berry or Nigella Lawson are professional chefs as they both freely admit, they're "Home Cooks" I know chefs like Jamie use ready rolled pastry because it's quicker to do at home than making puff yourself 😂 Because puff pastry is a pain to make (especially when like me you have permanently warm hands 😔😂) Side note completely agree about a pie needing to be filling encased in pastry, seems an American invention with their "pot pies"

[@keetrandling4530]

Knife skills: actually, luv, although many folks call using a steel on a knife "sharpening" it, what you're doing is properly called "honing" the knife. Alton Brown addressed this in an episode of "Good Eats" but basically you're un-curling the edge, which has microscopically bent over. Sharpening, as you pointed out, involves grinding off a bit.
