Now off to see Captain America:The Winter Soldier
Just 2 things JD......
What have you done with the wimmin folk?
And if you made it..... can you explain the camp use of lady like decorations on the pie?
Other than that..... good skills
What goes into steak pie?
Lmao...... one more drunken night of debauchery and he'd had enough?
Wimmin folk are fine. I decided to "make amends" occasionally. My wife cooks for us every single night - has done for years. I decided I'd give her the night off on a Saturday. I know this was a Wednesday, but I had the day off today.
I did make it and the "decorations" were to make her feel special.
BH - Steak. Proper, no bollox, fully fledged steak.
I think bh thought Mrs d was in the pie
Someone call Gordon Ramsey!!!
It was bloody nice boys! :-)
Don't get me wrong. For British cooking its amazing! ;)
I made a mean shepherd's pie a while back. I do the same as JD...every so often I cook to keep my womens happy.
Looks good JD. Well done.

Nah... I do most all the cooking here and was curious if it would be something we'd like to try.

In that case...
Ingredients750g Cubed Braising Steak
3 Large Carrots
Plain Flour
Pepper
Salt
Mixed Herbs
1x Packet of Puff Pastry
Gravy
1. Put the flour in a bowl and put in pepper, salt and mixed herbs for seasoning
2. Put your steak in the bowl with the seasoned flour and stir so the beef is covered
3. Seal the steak for 10 minutes by frying in a frying pan with a small amount of oil - stirring occasionally
4. Put the steak in a slow cooker and turn on (high or low, depending on how long you are leaving it)
5. Peel and slice the carrots and put them in with the steak
6. Make about 1 litre of gravy (see other thread about proper gravy) and make it nice and thick and put into the slow cooker
7. Leave to cook for as long as required (I put my sealed meat (steady!!) in the slow cooker, left it on low all day and took it out at 4pm
8. When the meat is ready, take out and put into a buttered baking dish
9. Roll your puff pastry to the required thickness on a floured surface and place over the dish trimming as required and cut a "steam hole" (steady again!!) in the middle (decorate depending on how girlie you feel :-) )
10. Cook in the over for 20-30 minutes at 160 degrees celcius (time depends on the thickness of the pastry)
Done.
Sounds tasty!
BTW, in the US we call that 'Pot Pie' (especially if in a round pan). Usually it is made with a bottom crust as well but not always. It is very popular with either a cubed chicken or Turkey filling but can be made with be beef as well.
I love pot pies. But I have to admit, Steak Pie sounds even more awesome. :D Well done, JD!
