May 28th 2010 04:25
Ingredients
750g Pie Pastry (See previous recipe)
250g (½lb) Blade steak
4 Lambs kidneys
1 Brown onion
1 Bay leaf
30 ml (1floz) Worcestershire sauce
30ml (1floz) Tomato paste (not depicted)
1 tbsp Gravy mix
Method
Dice the onion.
Cut the steak into 2cm (½ in) cubes.
Cut the kidneys in half and carefully remove the fat and tubes.
Cut the kidney halves into three or four pieces.
Heat a little oil in a pot and fry the steak cubes.
Add the kidney pieces, bayleaf and onion and lightly fry.
Dissolve the gravy powder in a cup of water and add it to the pot.
Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Allow it to simmer for an hour on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Add some more water if the mixture dries up.
Prepare parbaked pie shells according to the previous recipe.
Fill the pie shells with the still warm steak and kidney mixture.
Place the pastry lids on the pies and crimp down the edges with a fork.
Decorate the tops if required. There is no need to brush them with anything.
Return the pies to the oven as quickly as possible and bake at 185°c (365°f) for a further 10 minutes until golden brown.
Serve savoury pies hot immediately, or cool then refrigerate or freeze them for future use.

Like any new task, it is difficult when one is learning, but soon becomes second nature. Changing gears in a car is a good example.
To tell the truth, my mixture was not wet enough and the pies were dry. I had to cut the tops off and add some gravy. It was my first attempt but next time I will do better.
