Steak and Kidney Pie

Prep time : 20 mins
Cooking time : 1 1/2 to 2 hours
Serves: 4 to 6

Ingredients
2 tbsp oil
1 onion sliced
750g stewing steak cubed
225g ox kidney cubed
50g plain flour
300ml beef stock
1 tsp mixed herbs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
250g packet frozen puff pastry, thawed
to serve:
1 medium size egg beaten

Method

Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and fry gently until soft. Coat the steak and kidney with flour, add to the pan and fry quickly until brown.

Gradually stir in the stock, herbs and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1 to 1½ hours until the meat is just tender. Cool, then turn into a foil pie dish.

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to a circle lightly larger than the dish and cut off a strip all round.

Dampen the edge of the dish and place the strip on top. Moisten, then put the lid in position. Trim and seal the edges. Decorate with trimmings and cut a slit in the centre.

Brush with egg and cook from frozen in a preheated hot oven at 220°C for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to180°C and bake for a further 20 minutes.
