Minced Beef and Cheese Pie - Australian New Zealand Pie @Pie Recipes

[@h-townluckyfish1129]

Made these yesterday and was so proud of myself! They looked just like your video and I made the same noises as you when I had my first bite. Lol. Granted, I think I watched the video over 20 times! Next time, I will add fresh chili peppers with the onions as the other Texan suggested...we like things spicy! Thanks for all your great videos Keef...I’m addicted to your channel and love your no-nonsense approach and sense of humor!

[@marianne6876]

Hi Keef from New Zealand. Steak and cheese pies are my favourite. We use flaky pastry for the best pies. I make them often and the delux versions have mushrooms in as well. After a lot of experimenting I discovered that the best pies have the meat cooked and cooled the day before. I use shin beef as it has a lot of taste as well as natural jelly which helps it set. I only use cornflour for thickening. Cut the tasty cheese into cm square chunks in the homemade pies

[@Canalcoholic]

As an Englishman, I am very familiar with steak pies, steak and kidney pies, steak and onion pies, minced beef and potato pies, even cheese and onion pasties. I have NEVER heard of a beef and cheese pie, but these are going straight to the top of my ‘to do’ list.

[@howardlam6181]

Steak Stilton? I had the Lidl ones. Absolutely disgusting. Normal steak pies from them are much better.

[@SwagimirPutin]

Did you end up trying this? They're surprisingly good!

[@weetbixwidwater422]

New Zealand pies can’t be beat. The best

[@kiwigirlNZ]

I totally agree!

[@captaincracker8980]

kiwi girl which one? BP ones are ok.

[@bushranger900]

You got the Pav but not the Pie! :)

[@mullity1952]

Actually cobber there are two pies that can't be beat Aussie and Kiwi pies.

[@mullity1952]

@william te whata Oh! Really !

[@Z__K217]

One of the more refreshing videos I have seen - thank you for your candor and knowledge.

[@nathanhannah9664]

NEVER apologize for your Aussie accent! Great looking recipe and video. Can't wait to try it. I grew up in Adelaide from ages 5 to 12 then moved back to the states. Lost my Aussie accent damn it. I remember pies like this and sausage rolls. People love when I make sausage rolls, but I want to add a pie to my list of nostalgic cooking. Can't wait to try this. Thank you.

[@JeffAndrew-r5q]

Funny. I'm a kiwi and can Def pick Keef does not have an Aussie accent. Great looking pies. Kiwi pies are the best. So is our pavlova!!😂

[@sidesw1pe]

it's funny but i've been living in Sydney for the past 10 years and one of the things I miss from home (NZ) is a good old mince and cheese pie. literally no cafe, bakery, sells them here, this is my experience. I enjoyed watching the video, especially some of the tricks you demonstrated, I can't wait to make some pies!

[@Keefcooks]

Good luck!

[@grimnirulfbrand1491]

So, I've just recently discovered this channel and become hooked. This is a great example of a typical pie here, which is good because there's dreadfully few on the internet generally. The tradition of serving a pie in a bowl of pea soup is very specific to Adelaide, capital of South Australia, and is virtually unknown in the rest of the country. It's called a Pie Floater. Traditionally you'd also slather the pie with tomato sauce when you're done, even if it's in a floater.

[@Keefcooks]

Yeah heard about Pie Floaters from a Terry Pratchett book!

[@grimnirulfbrand1491]

may he rest in peace :(

[@robertgrey6101]

When I went to school back in the 1950s a pie cart came out on a particular day to the school. The pie was topped with mushy green peas and black (Worcestershire Sauce) of asked for. NO tomato sauce ! BLACK sauce or nothing. The aroma of that black sauce on or in the pie was a pure delight.

[@stephennidd1048]

They are the most popular meat pie in NZ, can get em everywhere. I went to Aussie for a couple weeks in 2017, went into four bakeries total not one steak and cheese.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Cheese and steak readily availible here in the west, when I make my own i put grated cheese on top of the pie then brown off, tasty as. Cheers

[@Paradoxical124]

That’s because Australians only eat good pies, not shit ones.

[@vonnie4762]

That’s most brilliant tip ever seen on here .pastry in tin then pressing down with another tin etc! Pastry wow looks amazing and I will be definitely be following today’s recipe you done .👍🏻💙 thanks for sharing .

[@nailaui2344]

Keef.....this is the best pie recipe ever!!! I have orders coming out of my ears.....many ,many thanks.

[@jennylivesey3518]

I made your Lancashire butter pie and it was fantastic loved by the family. So I can’t wait to try this.

[@manuelstarr3602]

Yes Keef, the "Pie floater" Pie in pea soup was in Adelaide last I looked but "Pie and Peas"(mushy peas) was all over. The other difference I think is most ozzy pies use puff pastry (on top). Your take on this pie and cheese looks yummy, as does pretty much everything you make. Thanks Keef, keep you and yours safe, Cheers 🥧.

[@HighballTrains]

My wife and I love these pies. Never saw them in either Aus or NZ though. I make them for a special treat!

Here in south Australia we have a few good old country style bakerys that make cheese pies and they are delishous. Thanks for making a Australian pie mate . Cheers

[@sketch3744]

This is a kiwi pie. In the sense that it's actually good.

[@shaunh6875]

I live in QLD and when I visited NZ the pies reminded me, and were identical in quality and taste and variety, as South Oz bakeries....especially the country towns.

Yum definitely gonna make it. Thank you for the recipe.

[@kea8349]

Keef I love the way you stack the pie tins and cut the edges. Genius! Always annoyed me trying to press the pastry right into the tins and having to trim the edges. Thanks for this advice!!

[@Keefcooks]

When I was making pies for sale I would stack them 8 high...

[@antware]

@@Keefcooks Any idea where I could source those tins in the UK. Is there a specific name for them that I could try and Google? Thanks in advance.

i had this while i was in auckland. It is to die forr!!! amazinggg! thanks for the recipe!

[@Keefcooks]

It is a bit magical.

[@crazyg74]

Love your work Keef! These pies look amazing. If there was such a thing as an 'Aussie pie', it would be slightly thinner, served in a paper bag and eaten from the paper bag. It never touches a plate, or cutlery (unless it's a pie floater in Adelaide, of course). Also, a self respecting Adelaidean (or Adelaide bakery) never uses 'mince' in a pie. We've had some slightly marginal mass production pies in the past, but these days the quality of ingredients is very good. We have a particularly outstanding pie maker in Adelaide named 'Vilis' and their pies can even sometimes be found in London. They are exceptional. I don't think it's really possible to propose the idea of an 'Australian pie', since there's so much variation from place to place. Given the vast distance between cities and their rather separate history, this is understandable and makes for quite an interesting mixture of things! 🙂

[@matildahlongwane1664]

Wow delicious

[@leewatt5663]

As an Aussie i can say ive never really seen this type of pie before, though i wouldnt be shocked if its not made by any of the Harry de Wheels places. Im told they make very good mushy peas too

I can confirm, I am Australian and one of my most fav pies is a steak and cheese pie, its a very common pie choice in any good bakery or cafe here in Australia. Steak and Mushroom would be another fav of mine.

[@dorothywhite1595]

Mince meat, bacon and cheese pies, my favourite, for over 25 years, family made but also at times bought from the same local Aussie cake and pie shop that sells a wide variety of different pie fillings. Actually just ask for cheese and bacon, it’s accepted there will be great meat and gravy in it as well.😂. Personally, just my preference, but I never use tomato sauce when I have pies but that’s just because these great cheese and bacon need no other help to be yummy for my taste. On occasions my daughter makes a very similar recipe as yours only additions are Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes bacon, in any case, always a great excuse for an extra visit to her home for lunch on her pie making days.

[@Roro_Dewi-v1w]

Yummmm😍thanks for sharing🤗

[@ArthurKingoftheBritons404]

I've tralleved all over the world and I've still never had a pie that can even compete with NZ bakery made steak and cheese pies.

[@SwagimirPutin]

Produce in 'Inzid' is some of the best in the world so that's really no surprise.

[@logantau7130]

For real nz got the best food in general

[@petrus4]

This is a fascinating variation of some of the other recipes I've seen here on KZbin, and demonstrates why I've found it to always be a good idea to watch multiple videos about a given recipe, before deciding to make it myself. I've never seen the pastry pre-cooking method before. If anything, the pastry is usually left to stand for anywhere between four to eight hours after it has been initially worked. It might be worth testing both, to find out which of the two I prefer. This method would certainly be quicker, which is an advantage.

[@Keefcooks]

Pastry pre-cooking - you mean the hot water pastry? It's not pre-cooked (you really wouldn't want to eat it before baking) - melting the lard into the water just saves a lot of time.

[@robertedwards7695]

Yeah gidday cobber. Will definitely be giving this recipe a go.😊.Thanking you Robbbert from Melbourne Australia.

[@javehrio]

This is remind me of the Georgie Pie back in the 1990s in here New Zealand. Sadly the company got bank-rub. But the pie was so good. Now they have it at McDonald but it not the same anymore. Thanks for the video.

[@anatoniwirihana2758]

I'm a Kiwi and luv my pies, steak n cheese being my fav. I lived just out of cairns for 13yrs and no-one made a steak n cheese pie. In 2015 we did a 2week road trip and moved the family to Tasmania. From cairns to Melbourne no-one sold a steak and cheese pie. So I can safely say that no-one makes these pies in Australia, and if you do, you got it from us.

[@miffmat]

Well every bakery in Western Australia iv'e been to has them and has done for the 40+ years iv'e lived here. Cause traveling from Cairns to tassie is all of Australia......... :/

[@DistrustingToaster]

[@fiasua9450]

Is there a difference with using hot or cold liquid as u demonstrated with lard re texture of crust?

[@Keefcooks]

You need hot water to melt the lard. Otherwise you have to rub the fat into the flour and you get shortcrust pastry, not hot water pastry. Hot water pastry is a bit crunchier and harder than shortcrust.
