Sheryl watches Keef! I love both of you guys!

[@samaitcheson7057]

Another great recipe Keef! Stovies is a childhood favourite for me. I grew up with my gran cooking it regularly with whatever leftover meat she had. Mutton was my favourite but I'm due to make your corned beef recipe again so I think I'll try making stovies with that. It's great to see you make these great traditional British dishes. It's inspiration to make and and appreciate them again 👍

[@jackwaycombe]

I'm English, but I've lived in Scotland for 53 years (but still 'b@st@rd English' to some of my neighbours.) And I can attest to the fact that stovies is the national dish, not haggis. And do I love stovies. I've been at expensive corporate lunches where waiters have laughed at my "Don't suppose there's any stovies available?" And yes - my Irish Granny back in the NE of England certainly made them - if not better than anyone - certainly better than me. Going to try this recipe (though as you infer, the words recipe and stovies in the same sentence rather miss the point.)

[@daphnetilling6034]

I have been in Scotland for near 30 years and never got the Sassenach treatment but being referred as hen was a bit jarring when I first moved here as well as referring to someone as big man or the rude word for the female reproductive area in the form of a greeting or term of endearment definitely took some getting used too. I love scottish fare and even learned to love haggis after a long time hating it, but stovies and pressed tongue is definitely on the top of the heap :)

[@allenbrown8158]

Corned beef spuds and fried onion, is fantastic, as good as corned beef egg and chips. I made corned beef cottage pie last week, it was great.

[@will_9342]

Thank you so much for this. Being an Edinburgh born lad and also from a very modest background, this simple, but tasty dish was often made by my Mum (nope, not my granny for me). Very economical when the budget is tight and perfect for a winters night while the snow is falling outside. Your humour always makes me smile. Thanks again.

[@Keefcooks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@samsia7637]

A definite good, mood food right there.

[@ynothump2566]

Looks delicious. Will surprise the wife with this for Sunday lunch tomorrow when she gets in from work. Love and respect ❤

[@grampawud]

I usually use leftover mince for stovies but corned beef sounds even better. It's good to see that you made it nice and chunky. There's been too many times I've been served brown stovies slop, which is still ok just so long as you has plenty of oatcakes to go with it. Chunky is best.

[@stephenhope7319]

I think every country has a version of "Meat and Potatoes". I cook 2 versions, one is Mexican with cilantro and hot peppers, another is called "Keema Aloo",( literally meat and potatoes) from India with garam masala and ground ginger . thanks for the Scottish version. My Grandad used to work in a butchers shop and bring home meats on the weekend and Grandmother would make a meat and potato dish with nice meat every once in a while back in the 1970's in Manchester.I dont think we ever, and I do not now, peel potatoes, just wash. Good times. Thanks Keef.

[@Beruthiel45]

Another good 'un from wor Keef. Thanks for reminding me to add the beef stock stuff to my shopping list, bonny lad. Just in time for the autumn months when tummies want hot, tasty and traditional favourites simmering, or, as stated, even better heated up for the morrow's tea. Yum. 😊

[@ihave7sacks]

Nice one, I've always liked using differently sized chunks of veg when making pasties, sausage rolls, and stews. Makes for a nice surprise every now and then.

[@liammalarky3483]

We usually had stovies on a Monday, often made with link sausages. Some folk used up whatever meat was leftover from Sunday in their stovies. This rarely happened in our house as we scoffed the lot. If there were any leftovers, they would end up in sandwiches for taking to school or work. Good video. Thank you.

[@quaker57]

My Dads stepdad was Scottish so his mum used to make it and passed it down to my mum, had it regularly when i was growing up, nearly always with Corned Beef but sometimes with Beef from the Sunday dinner as said in the video, hardly have it anymore so i am wanting to learn out to do it, i love the meal and miss it.

[@daphnetilling6034]

Totally love stovies, was first introduced to it with link sausages but is an amazing way to use up left over meat :)

[@iloveschicken6527]

Awesome! Another must try! Thank you! 😊

Nice one Keef imy kinda food & it looks delicious, Those are two ingredients I've got plenty of at present. I must have around fifteen 30ltr buckets of taters in the garden still waiting to be harvested & half a dozen cans of corned beef in the cupboard that I've stocked up on for the coming Winter months. 👍

Ey up our lad our goer Keef. Move over bagpipes, there's a new Scottish sensation in town - Stovies with a side of corned beef flair! This dish is so good, even Nessie would come out of hiding for a bite. Time to trade kilts for aprons, folks! Let's get cooking and make the taste buds do the Highland Fling!

[@Keefcooks]

Ayup yersen. I'm just wondering about this greeting you always use - "Ey up our lad our goer Keef" - what does "our goer" mean?

[@mr.piechipsandbakedbeans7967]

@@Keefcooks Yorkshire speak innit Keef. Maybe not in Leeds, but in Barnsley we use this as like an endearing term for someone who is good at something. You are good at cooking Keef, so I use it to say like you're skilled at cooking. For exampel, you might say about a talented football player: "He's a right good 'un, our goer!"

[@Keefcooks]

Aah, sorry to say, never heard it before. I've lived in Leeds these past 8 years, and grew up in Donny until I were 18 - probably more of a Barnsley thing than Yorkshire...

[@tyrion3575]

Hi Keef, Brilliant... nice comfort grub uncomplicated and warming. I like to also put a tiny little bit of chilli in mine. Love seeing you use lard also beef fat is awesome. None of those crappy seed oils. (yes, it's me) So, question is... did you use up the leftover tinned corned beef in a sarnie with Branston pickle?

[@ronaldmartin7892]

It looks a bit bland, but I bet it tastes good. I'll have a long time to wait for a cold day here in Thailand. During the war, my mother used to make corned beef and Spam fritters. Both two of the many other food products our American friends sent over. Dried egg and Pom, dried potatoes, yuk!, for example. Keep em coming, Keef.

[@nigelsouthworth5577]

I use pre-fried sausages and corned beef in mine.

[@karendaley3184]

2:21 Keef, perhaps you can find a magic peeler at the same place you got your magic knife. That would be a great timesaver!

[@Keefcooks]

Wouldn't it though!

[@krpyton7368]

Great video

[@littleglimmer2325]

Even easier and cheaper - slice the potatoes, build layers of potato, onion, corned beef like a lasagne. Nothing precooked. Pour in some stock. Stew for an hour or so. Staggeringly delicious. The corned beef has a fat content which enriches the flavour.

[@josephmartin8382]

Keef fella done a few of your recipe’s always enjoy them and I understand if your in England lorne sausage is not always easy to come by so corn beef (square meat) seems a good substitute. And what you have made dose look nice…..but it’s not stoves buy some lorne sausage and remake it leave the liquor In add white pepper and HP sauce you will see the difference

[@Keefcooks]

As I understand it people chuck any old meat in and get away with calling it stovies. I take your point about lorne sausage and did have a go at making it a while ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZDHcmSCodRki5o

[@jamesgoacher1606]

The initial illustrsation threw me a little cos it looked very similar to how I prefer to make Corned beef hash, more agricultural sized potato luumps not all mashed togrther, and I was looking forward to saying this after you threatened us if we did :-) . However the final result was wetter looking than the initial picture so I am not going to say anything. As you say, real comfort food and whenever I make it of my similar looking CBH it rarely survives till t'next day. A case of Lunch, dinner and supper I throw a slack handfull of frozen peas or beans in towards the end.

Traditional Scottish Stovies is never made with anything out a tin or sausages. Only roast beef or braised steak. Tatties are sliced thinly not chunks. Everyone asks for my stovies.

[@stephenswanton2748]

Keef mate. I don’t know what you paid for the corned beef but Asda essentials is £2.15 and Asdas own is £2.30 at the moment.

Mate, looks good. I’d have used the full can of corned beef. My mum used to make them with snorkers which, as you said, need to be cooked first for a short period, however she used to Blanche them for a few minutes. Thanks for another great video. Hope you’re ok.

Actually I still think I used too much - I reckon stovies should be mostly tatties.
