Steak Slice Recipe | Greggs Steak Bake Review and Copycat Recipe

[@Damonibar]

Why am I seeing this just now?!?!?! I used to live in England and I ate the Steak Bakes a LOT. I now live in Texas and... well.... yeah, I've not seen any Greggs or anything similar around obviously. I will try this for sure! Thank you so so so much Keef!

[@Keefcooks]

Good luck!

[@julieparsons3216]

Try adding baked beans. OmG

[@billyb37]

I live abroad where any kind of meat pie is nearly impossibe, i sometimes dream of a gregs steak bake. Yours looked good ,so ill give it a go.

[@Keefcooks]

Good luck!

[@heidimccaffray]

Haven’t had one of these since we moved to the States in 2003! Can’t wait to make these at home!

[@karendaley3184]

We don't have Gregg here in Canada, but now we can have their steak bake! Looks like a nice lunch box treat. Always great to see Mrs Keef Cooks too.

[@urbanapache2]

Been living in New York for 3 years, from Lincolnshire....I miss good bacon, good sausages, Cornish Pasties, Steak bakes and Scotch eggs. Anyway this channel has been a life saver. Cooked the Americans your roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, with all the extras. Went down a storm!

[@admirathoria0073]

We don't have this in the US. So I will definitely give this a try. Thanks Keef!

[@theboss2126]

looks yummy weldone chef 👏

[@johntran7232]

Wow! Keep dreaming about steak beak from Greggs as it's been ten years. Thanks ever so much for your video. Will give it a go.

[@marie-josetimperley3825]

Lovely!! I would add a little HP in the meat filling, yummy!

[@Keefcooks]

Takes all sorts!

[@deborahelson9098]

Brilliant I think these are on the menue very soon.

[@georgeb7332]

No Greggs here in Northern Ireland, so intrigued to give this a shot. And Keef, if you don’t eat your crusts you won’t be fit and bonny when you grow up, my old mum says.

[@Keefcooks]

Too late to start now!

[@gypsyheart1373]

This is one thing i miss from the time i spent living in the U.K..Definitely gonna make this😊

[@lauraclements2002]

Brill !!!! I'm just about to try this way 😁🙏 thank you xxx

[@sarahclarke6697]

Yeyyy loved this ,absolutely perfect.. do you reckon you could do a de constructed Big Mac and construct your own and I love Mrs Keef cooks review of your food at the end such a lovely couple xxx

I'll put it on my list.

That looks like a easy enough recipe...Thanks for sharing it! 👍🤩

[@richardkelltoolmaker]

Last time i bought anything at Greggs was two steak bakes every morning for an alchi i was nursing four years ago. I found there was hardly ever much meat in them, more a gravy slice and invariably years ago when i bought them for myself they were so bloomin hot there was no way I could get them down, the frustration of waiting for them to cool. I actually (having learnt to cook since the death of my wife three years ago) found my steak bake clone morphed into pasties via trial and error and a stunning suet pastry with Marriages (a Canandian brand) strong stoneground wholemeal brown flour. I seal my diced beef skirt in the frying pan, add all sorts inc balsamic vinegar, a little red wine and Kallo gluten free cubes (my cubes of choice) .... then its eighty minutes in my bench top electric oven, same as for my casseroles, theres no three or four hours. I just wonder how healthy the Greggs item is, salt etc?

[@davegoes]

Awesome! I've got to make this.

[@stealthop]

looks amazing keef .

[@cato451]

Hi keef. Great video!!

[@johnraisbeck2800]

Good one Keef. How about Curry Bake & Chicken Bake? What sort of knife do you use for that chopping?

[@Breezy-bv9te]

Ooh!! That looks so Good! I wish we had a Greg Steak Bake here in America but since we don't I am going to try your version of it only I will use a puff pastry dough I can get in a supermarket, I don't do Pastry recipes very well but I'm sure it will be close enough. Thank you Keef!! Your a Gem! 💎

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That looks really tasty. Cheers Keef!

[@bestbitesforever]

Wow, that looked delicious! I've never had one before but I will say that yours definitely looked better than Greggs and it was fun to watch you deconstruct and remake it :)

[@ChrisTheButcher]

Good to see your getting the hang of the Kitchen Magic lol

[@walleyperch]

Looks incredibly yummy....

What brand puff pastry do you use for this? thanks!

[@Keefcooks]

No idea - probably the supermarkets own brand.

[@Tick29]

5:44 How'd you do that Keef?

[@jamcopper4592]

yeah that bit owned

[@jacobmead6082]

OK so I don't have a pressure cooker, how much heat do I use for a conventional pan and when it looses water weight do I add more stock or water?

[@Keefcooks]

Just enough to keep it simmering, and yes, add more liquid if you need to.

[@cherrymcsharry8869]

Definitely want to try your version. Any chance you could do a copycat version of Hollands cheese and onion pies?

[@charliesavill7154]

Great video

[@rosekeys]

Ah I just came back from England and I tried those amazing steak bake! Can you post the recipe!!! Please

[@Keefcooks]

I can't believe I didn't do a written recipe for this. Gimme a few days.

[@r33ggi3]

Where is the written recipe?

[@johnraisbeck2800]

@@Keefcooks Hey Keep where is the written recipe? Better get on it or I'll ask the "Missus"

[@johndelye3402]

Just wondered if the instant pot can be used in place of a regular pressure cooker? Hmmm.

[@Keefcooks]

I've never used an instant pot but isn't it just a fancy pressure cooker? So yeah, you could use that.

[@TheWacoKid1963]

Greggs slices are never fresh, They are only baked fresh. These are produced in a factory, Frozen and baked off in their shops, They can actually be months old before been baked off. One thing I don't call Greggs these days is bakers, It's all production line rubbish now.

[@doug.campbell4570]

@msec Ses I served 4 years of my life training to be a baker and left the industry because of companies like Greggs, I left Scotland because I could not make any money as a Baker, luckily there were other countries who appreciated the art and paid well. Now all you got is is shit store made bread and steak bakes with beef made in pressure cookers with bleached flour to thicken the sauce

[@stamasd8500]

Hm. Portable beef Wellington. I could go for that.

[@ricatkins4918]

Now there’s a thought!! Fish vol au vent style slice with a creamy sauce😋

[@janjordal9451]

That looks nice. I'll try making that. Or something like it when done 😅

[@Nefariousrouge]

Excellent onion chop!

[@Keefcooks]

Thank you!

[@daynal9594]

Ha just hearing of these and I find your video! I must try this! This video was published on my birthday...the irony 💖

[@CrotchetRocket]

Happy birthday

[@hazelb7218]

Yes they look much better than Greggs lol x thing i hate about Greggs is that advertise selling hot food but when you buy it ...it's barely lukewarm....i stopped using them....i asked them to reheat one of their cold pasties once and they refused because they weren't allowed to do it!!! x

[@Keefcooks]

I think that's something to do with VAT at different rates on hot and cold food. Or maybe the company protecting itself in case the reheating isn't done properly....

[@johnwebber232]

Can you do video for crispy oven jacket potatoes please?

[@Keefcooks]

I'll put it on the list.

[@colepdx187]

Yes please! 😊

Brilliant, living here in the Philippines makes me miss some home food. Will get baking this week and thats on the menu. Great video and they do look 100 times better than Greggs. Dont tell Greggs though they might steal you away from us lol.

If you don't eat your crusts you will never have curly hair. well that's what my nana says. Love your vids keep em coming Keef.

They do look better Keef. I know which I would prefer to eat, and it isn't Greggs!👍😋

[@jamesbmedia8996]

Yum 😁 Should try the Greggs chicken bake .... I'm convinced they use Heinz chicken soup lol

[@johndelye3402]

It always amuses to think I used to labor under the misapprehension that Heinz was strictly American products. Apparently the UK has more of the "57 varieties than we Yanks do here!

[@roberts7892]

John DeLye pretty sure it’s a German company I’m guessing they have all 57 varieties over there lol

Have u ever made pickled pigs feet or pickled watermelon rines would u be willing to try to make some my mom use to can them along with alot of other things but she's gone now an I don't know what happened to her recipes so if u could make a video of how to make them I'd be so happy

Yeah Brenda - they kinda started to sprout all over the place about 20 years ago. From Newcastle originally, I think.

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

I went into one on breck rd when I took my mum home a few years ago and they didn't know what a custard slice was how sad was that🤦 on a brighter note I made the steak bake, added mushrooms (because I like them) and they were a big hit except for the middle child who is a fussy eater, they were fab with peas chips and gravy over mine on the pie for them, ........heathens don't know what soggied crispy chips are ambrosia from the gods 😍

[@doug.campbell4570]

well done Tesco's.... but seriously well done to the guy, he just replicated something a professional bakery paid someone a lot of money to develop.....or did they? personally I would be looking to give a bit more depth to the filling because this recipe of pressure cooked beef with onion, Monosodium Glutamate (AKA beef stock) and flour does not float by boat, how about a slow cooked beef with onions, lightly roasted garlic, nutmeg and thickened up with a traditional roux oh and don't forget a dash or Worcestershire sauce. That's just exactly what I would do.

[@Keefcooks]

Yeah, the object wasn't to try to improve on it particularly. Your nutmeg sounds a bit unusual.

[@doug.campbell4570]

@@Keefcooks It works well with beef, gives depth to the flavours, for example Scottish Lorne sausage...spice is nutmeg and coriander... Don't forget Greggs is a Scottish bakery, they were a family bakery when i was serving my time and look at them now... that's why I questioned did they really spend a lot of money to develop that recipe, I doubt it really. You did a great job replicating it by the way.

[@w11granny72]

I make these with minced beef 5%fat.

[@MINERAL-115]

It's not right seeing someone tuck into a steak bake without being appropriately dressed. Please pop the tracksuit on beforehand in the future, Keef! Can hear a weird hissing/wobble sound on the audio, incidentally!

[@MINERAL-115]

Done some frequency analysis and the bulk of the hiss seems to be in the 9k+ spectrum. If you apply a bandstop filter to your audio starting at 9khz it seems to remove the vast majority of it. Have made a quick video showing the difference using a spectrum visualizer, just editing and uploading it now.

[@davegoes]

I think the hissing was from the pressure cooker.

[@MINERAL-115]

It's an electrical noise in the 9k-18k frequency range; I did hear the pressure cooker as well, but this seems to be something else. Just doing a quick video to highlight it, I'm confident that messing about with a bandstop filter will help reduce it significantly.

[@MINERAL-115]

I've made a video showing the noise I'm talking about and what I did to the audio track to reduce it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKLFqKeco7-IkLc Put this in the description as well, but it's relevant: "9K may be too harsh of a filter, as it cuts off sniffs and echos (6-11k range); best bet would be to experiment with a spectrum visualizer open and see which setting does the best job. Using a bandpass filter to first listen to what is actually being removed from the audio track is always a good idea!"
