BEEF AND STOUT PIE
goo.gl/0etAZv
Full recipe instructions...
Serves: 4
Ready in: 3 hours 15 mins
Prep time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 2 hours 55 mins
INGREDIENTS
700 g extra-lean braising steak, cut into cubes
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
500 ml stout
300 g closed-cup white mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
200 ml hot beef stock
7.5 g fresh thyme leaves, picked
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp redcurrant jelly
375 g ready-rolled puff pastry
1 medium egg, beaten
METHOD
1. In a large bowl, toss the steak in the flour. Heat the oil in a large pan, then add the steak and cook, in batches, until golden all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add the onion, carrots and 200ml stout and stir, scraping off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, until the onion and carrot is starting to soften. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook for a further 2 minutes.
3. Return the meat to the pan, along with any juices, and add the stock, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 300ml stout. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and simmer for 2 hours over a low heat. At the end of cooking, stir in the redcurrant jelly, remove the bay leaf and divide the mixture between 4 x 250ml pie dishes.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Cut out 4 lids from the pastry, large enough to fit over the pie dishes. Brush the edges of the dishes with some of the egg, then place the lids on top, pressing down with a fork to secure. Decorate with leaves made from pastry trimmings. Brush with egg and bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden.

[@tangerine_moon]

I just love how competitive you two are! (& I feel like I comment this on every videos of theirs but the way Mike looks at Fleur is the ultimate relationship goal.

[@TieganSwift]

Yes! A sweet pie would be great, or a series of mini sweet pies so they can do some classic English ones too like rhubarb pie but also apple pie and cherry pie :)

[@sainsburysfood]

Hi ***** - thanks for the comments. We like the cherry pie suggestion.

[@syrekxx6489]

The way that Mike looks at Fleur 💜☺️

[@bestcousins8844]

Chicken and mushroom is my favourite!

[@sarahsp1336]

Made the beef and stout pie this evening - absolutely delicious! I would never have made it before but this video made it look so easy; and it really was! Would recommend to anyone who fancies a hearty, flavourful winter dish. Thanks for the video FDF/MDF.

[@Gidget13mwa]

I love both of these and you two are just too precious. I am always so happy when you do these cooking videos and love (I am in the U.S.) seeing the ingredients you use. Love your stove!!!

[@davidsweeney111]

Matthew Cook Baskington is my PA he just does stuff for me really, he's a treasure - I'm useless in the kitchen, so should be a nice dinner this evening ;) PS If you don't have anyone to make a pie for you, I could always ask B to make some more, are in England?

[@davidsweeney111]

Quickie - Baskington excelled himself, splendid pie !!

[@davidsweeney111]

Matthew Cook Well it was very rich and beefy and utterly yummy ;), thanks for asking, hope yours went just as well Matthew!

[@HGibbs94]

Please make the ULTIMATE crumble! It's my favourite autumn desert... Who doesn't love a bit of crumble and custard?!

[@sainsburysfood]

Hi Hannah Gibbs - we've had a few requests for crumble. Definitely one of the best desserts. We'll ask ***** and MikeDeForce what their favourite crumble is. What's yours?

[@HGibbs94]

Sainsbury's Food sounds yummy! Mine has to be apple and blackberry, it's such a great comfort food in the winter

[@abigailodetayo3605]

Those pies look so delicious. Would love an apple pie/ crumble recipe next (with plenty of cinnamon of course!)

[@JustLindsayH]

Both pies look amazing! I will definitely be making both. That said I love, love, love lentils so the lentil, veggie filo 'pie' is something I will be making very soon. I know I've asked in a few comments, can you PLEASE do a traditional English Sunday Roast Dinner with English style roasted potatoes and Yorkshire puddings?

[@sundusabubaker1426]

[@nikkebirde]

Mike won on this one!

[@MarliniJ]

Mike OOoh Mike !!

[@elkiry]

Now I'm hungry...

[@pookapy20]

never been so early in a comment lol. I have to say both pies are mouthwatering, but since I'm trying to eat a bit healthy I'd go for Fleur's veggie option

[@TieganSwift]

Just because it's vegetarian doesn't make it healthier :P

[@pookapy20]

I know, I know, I'm not vegetarian myself and the butter in the parcel and all the cheese aren't as healthy. But filo makes it lighter and I loove spinach!

[@nanaaziz6716]

You should try making baked Alaska!

[@jessicabland1997]

fleurs seems more to my taste :P x

[@naimazaheer]

For some reason in this episode the camera shots were super shakey and a bit too up close.

[@littlemissgemreads]

I would definitely try Mike's pie. Looks delicious. Sorry Fleur, I'm just not a lover of lentils.
