How to Cook British Steak Pie

[@lisahinton9682]

"....give those a quick brush ..with eggy-weggy.." Ok, Mr Pete, you just reminded me of my Liverpudlian mum, who used to make steak and kidney pie on cold, blustery, blizzardy Ohio winter nights. (The warm kitchen and gorgeous smell was incredibly comforting to come home to, after slogging through several feet of snow for a quarter mile or so after school!) I miss those long ago days, and those pies. You've inspired me to give these a go. And I've subscribed as well. Happy New Year to you and your family. -Lisa in Phoenix, Arizona, USA

[@LazyCookPete]

It's always great to have a new subscriber in the family Lisa, but your charming and heartwarming anecdote is the icing on the cake for me. It is very humbling to know that my pie recipe is capable of evoking such wonderful memories! Pies and pie baking do have a way of turning a house into a home. I can almost hear the crunch of your boots trudging through that deep snow. Lovely! I think you may want to watch this one too Lisa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHenpHaBgbGYfrc

@@LazyCookPete Thank you, Pete! I am enjoying your channel immensely and also feel hono(u)red that you took the time to reply to my comment. :-) I did end up making your recipe for these pies and shared them with a Native American friend and a Mexican friend. Neither had had anything like these before, having had mainly American food as well as food from their respective cultures. Both thoroughly enjoyed the meal (though my friend from Mexico did teasingly ask, "¿Donde estan los chiles?" several times, the cheeky swine!) Thank you again. I look forward to making the dish in the link you provided in your above comment and to enjoying all your videos.

[@interdave999]

That was a very well described video. My mother used to put an egg cup in the pie to prevent the pie top falling. This was in WW2 when butter was rationed so it was a short crust pastry with minimum margarine. I can still taste it today (in my mind).

[@freddyjensen5996]

What a great and simple recipe. I will make it sometime i January 19. May I suggest that you take out the meat after browning it and then add the vegetables AND salt. This way the moisture generated will deglaze the pan and the meat will keep its moisture.

[@LazyCookPete]

That would work well, thanks for the suggestion Freddy.

[@marialee627]

My grandmother used to make her pastry with suet and big chunks of beef this was beautiful with a rich gravy I've never been able to make a beef pie but I will be making this

[@LazyCookPete]

The only English recipe for baked pastry using suet is a clanger like this one I did some time back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIe2o6uIh5llfpo Clangers can have many fillings, including sweet and savoury; and sometimes in the same clanger, with meat and veg one end and a sweet filling at the other end. Suet pastry is traditionally steamed for hours like steak and kidney pudding, but much less often it is baked.

[@joecalobeer6396]

I used to watch my Mom make sweet pies. Apple, Cherry, Huckleberry, Peach! Yum!!!She used the same techniques you used to build your pies before baking! Once you had the lid on and had crimped the edges with the fork, I saw Mom getting ready to remove the excess dough off her pies. I remember her specifically telling me to use the back of the knife to trim the excess dough, so of course I was hoping that’s the way you did it!👍🏼 Thanks for the memories!

18:00 - My mum would always drain some of the watery meat-juice off to use when making the gravy, stir til smooth then add it back to the pot. Left over pastry scraps got rolled out to make a jam turnover and baked with the pie. A pot of custard went with it for pud. (just saying)

[@LazyCookPete]

I'm a lazy cook so I find easy ways to achieve the same end. Your mum sounds like a great cook. I remember my own mum making jam tarts with the leftover pastry, but we weren't allowed jam tarts until dinner was all eaten. Happy days!

[@lillythompson4646]

I'm 17 years old and I've started to take an interest in cooking; Lately, I've been making more sweet foods than savoury. I came across this video and used it as a tutorial to make my own steak pie. Me and my family enjoyed it so much, the pies were a bit smaller than I had hoped far as they seemed to shrink in the tins, apart from that, thank you! Also, for a video idea I think it would be awesome if you could make a rhubarb or apple pie?

[@LazyCookPete]

I started cooking young too and I greatly encourage young cooks. It's really a calling, and we know instinctively that we want to cook great food. A great cook is never without good company. I'm a great rhubarb fan to boot! If I can't find fresh rhubarb, I may use frozen or canned. How does rhubarb crumble and custard sound?

[@lillythompson4646]

Rhubarb crumble and custard sounds amazing! I tend to cook by myself, only because I need a lot of space when cooking, I've started living with my roommate and she knows I like my own space, as do most people. I normally listen to KZbin videos and do a step by step tutorial to what they're saying.

Steak & onion and steak & mushroom are classic British pie fillings, also chicken & mushroom.

"forfar bridies" (?) & lemon or jam tarts.

I have just watched your very interesting video of the making and baking a steak pie. You have reminded me of my childhood when I watched my mother cook such pies, using the flour to help brown the meat and then even down to the cripping with the fork and the cutting of the excess pastry with the knife. I am going to go the supermarket tomorrow and get the ingedients and try baking my own pie. Thank you for this, and the lovely memories it revoked. I will watch more of your videos avidly and learn well from them. Keep up the good work. Paul in London, England.

[@carlblyth8479]

i use dark soy sauce with beef...also wouster sauce and balsamic vinegar...a splash of each...

[@LazyCookPete]

Good point. Vinegar based condiments like Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar reductions can add a dash of zest to a lot of pie fillings, soups and stews. I personally am not a fan of Worcestershire sauce, but that seems to put me in a minority. I have also been known to use dark soy sauce to brown a stew or gravy. Another unusual touch is to use Thai fish sauce or other anchovy based condiments to add another layer of flavour. Thanks for watching and commenting Carl.

Stabbing the bottom of the pastry stops it rising in the oven.Blind baking also helps. Cover the bottom of the pastry with grease proof paper weighed down with raw rice, or raw pasta, or dried beans. Cook for about 15 minutes at 150°. Remove the grease proof paper and rice or pasta or beans. Add filling pastry top and cook. Basic mistake is to put the filling in hot. Almost guarantees soggy bottom of pie. Let the filling cool first. Before putting it into the pastry. I suggest covering the pizza tray with foil so if the filling overflows it doesn’t mess up the oven. That pie looked banging

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks for the tips Mike, I appreciate your constructive criticism. Anything that improves my pies can only be a good thing 😊😋

[@kerokero_furogu]

For a better result with the puff pastry, butter the tins before putting the puff pastry in and cook them blind for about 10 minutes. Then fill and put the lid on and back in the oven.

[@LazyCookPete]

Now there's a tip I can use. Thanks for the advice, and thanks for your interest.

[@wildthing6668813]

I use a pressure cooker to cook joints then cbreake it up even if it's not in cubes you still get the meat into the pie then I batch cook about 8 or 10 individual pies and freeze them after cooking them and letting them cool

I do a very similar recipe, but it's my own "deluxe" spin- steak, leeks, mushrooms, Guinness, beef stock for the filling. Short crust on the bottom, puff pastry on top.

[@LazyCookPete]

That sounds great to me Gus. Thanks for watching!

now that is the best pie i have ever seen cheers mate

[@LazyCookPete]

Wow thanks Steve!

[@carolinethompson7173]

I think, from memory, that the 'galloping gourmet' was Graham Kerr. A handy household hint- put the cubed meat, flour and any seasoning in a plastic bag and shake well. It means less mess on your work surface and you can use the surplus flour when cooking the beef and other ingredients. Good luck with the lottery win.

[@LazyCookPete]

Yes it was Graham Kerr, my mistake. Thanks for the correction and for the handy tip!

I am impressed that you can do proper cooking in your "tiny kitchen." You have excellent organizational skills.

[@LazyCookPete]

I lived in a farmhouse in Suffolk before I moved back here to North Wales. That kitchen was huge with an Aga cooker. It would have been the best possible setting for my videos.

First time I've looked on here Pete...and thanks for that delicious looking recipe..I've chosen to bake a steak pie for Hogmanay this year and although I learned the butcher trade in Dundee many years ago, I've forgotten what to do...So here's hoping I can match the ones you created...Merrie Christmas to you and a Guid New Year...Cheers..G

delicious. first of all, i love these vids. it motivates me to play chef. my brit mum's recipe includes a worcestershire sauce. for my italian boyfriend i experimented adding garlic, wine, & tomato paste. love all the variations!!

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks Shay. I sometimes use English brown ale because it is sweet and malty and less hoppy, so it isn't so bitter tasting. A lot of modern craft beers are way too hoppy for cooking with. It's a recipe that is easy to tailor to your needs and make your own.

I remember the days before black pepper. I hated white pepper. It made me sneeze. When I discovered black pepper, I couldn't get enough of it. There were so many things in the shops now that we never saw as kids. I don't remember garlic, peppers, ginger, chillies, aubergines, courgettes and other things that we take for granted now. Tomatoes, strawberries, plums and other fruit and vegetables were strictly seasonal. There was something of a celebration when the first new potatoes of the year arrived. All we had, most of the time, was meat, potatoes, onions, carrots, swede and various types of cabbage. I lived in Hong Kong for a number of years and was surprised at the fact that Hong Kongers put white pepper in their congee. I don't remember it being used for much else. I ate it in congee and it was OK, but I'm still not a fan.

[@LazyCookPete]

Yes I remember those days too. Marketeers called exotic foods like red peppers and garlic 'queer gear', which has an entirely different connotation nowadays. I prefer black pepper myself, in fact I'm a black pepper nut; but some traditional British recipes call for white pepper if we are to keep it authentic.

That's very kind of you to say so Maria, thank you! I do like to inject a little mischief into proceedings 😄

[@NoosaHeads]

Eggy-Weggy - that's how I refer to them and it drives my wife crazy. She keeps saying "Don't be so childish" - so I say it even more.

[@LazyCookPete]

Inside every grown man there is a precocious child bursting to get out. I am that man-child 😆

[@josh2045]

Add Wifey* to the mix, that'll add to her frustration. For example: You: "Gonna mix my eggy-weggy" Wifey: "will you stop, it sounds so childish" You: "sowy my wittle wifey"
