A good meal for a winter's day. Traditional English steak and kidney pie would use no garlic and oysters instead of mushrooms.

Steps

2 hrs

1

Chop the beef into cubes and cut the white parts out of the kidneys.
2

Chop the onions and garlic.
3

Brown the beef in a very hot pan a few at a time and put in a large pan. (if you do too much at the same time they will boil in their own juices and not brown)
4

Fry the onion and garlic in a little oil until they start to brown.
5

Add the beef and the beer and bring to the boil. Add salt and pepper.
6

Add the mushrooms and simmer with the lid on on a low heat for an hour. Just before the end of cooking add the kidneys then after a couple of minutes mix the flour with cold water and stir in to thicken. Use more flour for a thicker filling.
7

Line a deep pie dish or Dutch oven with paper (I use the paper that comes with the pastry) then line with pastry. Pour in the beef filling.
8

Cover with more pastry, brush with beaten egg and bake in a moderate oven until golden brown
9

Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
