Steak Blue Cheese Pie Recipes

STEAK & BLUE CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Put the flour, mustard powder, ½ tsp salt, the lard and butter in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add 1 egg and pulse again. Add 1 tbsp cold water, if needed, until it forms a short pastry. Knead quickly into a ball, then wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins. Can be made three days ahead or frozen for two months.
• Season the steak generously and toss with the flour and mustard powder. Heat half the oil in a large pan. Brown the meat in a few batches, adding more oil as you need to and making sure you don't overcrowd the pan. Turn the meat only when the underside has a nice dark crust. Transfer the chunks to a plate as you go.
• Add the bacon to the pan and fry until beginning to crisp. Tip in the carrots, onions and bay leaves and cook for another few mins until the veg is soft. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato purée for 1 min, scraping the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan, then add the stock, thyme and browned beef. Season, cover the pan and simmer gently for 2½ hrs, stirring now and again to prevent the sauce from sticking, until the beef is tender. Remove the lid for the last 30 mins to thicken the sauce. Alternatively, braise in the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3 for the same amount of time. Leave to cool. Can be chilled for up to three days, or frozen for two months.
• Transfer the beef to a pie dish and crumble the cheese over the top. Place the marrowbone in the centre, nestling it into the meat. Alternatively, use a pie funnel or piping nozzle. Roll out the pastry on a floured worktop until large enough to cover the pie and about ½cm thick. Brush the remaining beaten egg over the edges of the pie dish, drape the pastry over, trim the excess and pinch around the edge to seal. Cut a hole for the marrowbone or pie funnel to poke through, and brush the top all over with beaten egg. Use the pastry trimmings to decorate the pie however you like. Chill for about 30 mins while you heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• If you have any beaten egg left, give the pie a final brush for extra glossiness. Bake for 45-50 mins until the pastry is deep golden.

STEAKHOUSE SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water and bring up to a boil. Season water with salt and boil potatoes until tender, 12 to15 minutes. Heads up: save a ladle of starchy cooking water just before draining.
• Heat a skillet with high sides over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan and the bacon. Crisp bacon and remove to paper towel lined plate. Add sirloin to the pan and caramelize the meat, 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and onions and cook until tender, 6 to 7 minutes more then season with salt and pepper.
• While meat cooks heat a small sauce pot over medium heat and melt butter, whisk the flour into butter, cook 2 minutes then whisk beef stock into flour, add Worcestershire and season sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Thicken 6 to 7 minutes.
• Pour gravy over meat and turn on broiler.
• Temper egg yolk by beating it with the starchy potato cooking water. Place drained potatoes back into the pot you cooked them in to dry them out a little. Mash potatoes with egg yolk and sour cream then fold in crumbled blue cheese and chives. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and spread across the top of the meat in an even layer. Garnish the potatoes with paprika and place under broiler to crisp and brown the potatoes, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble reserved bacon over top. Serve immediately right from the hot skillet.

STEAK AND BLUE CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a casserole or heavy-based lidded pan over a high heat, and fry the steak pieces until deep golden brown all over (you may need to do this in batches). Scoop the browned steak into a bowl as you fry.
• Reduce the heat slightly and add the onions to the pan with a dash more oil, if needed. Fry for 8-10 minutes, or until soft and lightly golden. Sprinkle over the flour and stir until combined, then slowly pour in the ale, a little at a time, stirring continuously until the flour has absorbed the liquid and expanded (this prevents clumps from forming). When all the ale has been incorporated, add the herbs and sugar. Bring to a simmer, then return the steak to the pan along with the stock. Return to a gentle simmer, cover and cook over a low heat for 2 hours-2 hours 30 minutes, or until the meat is very tender. Remove the lid for the final 20-30 minutes to reduce the gravy so it's thick enough to coat the meat.
• Season well and stir in the vinegar. Add a pinch more sugar if needed, depending on the bitterness of the beer used. Leave to cool completely, then chill overnight (this prevents the cheese dissolving into the gravy and the pastry from melting on top before baking).
• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Crumble the cheese into large pieces and stir through the cold filling mixture. Tip into a lipped pie dish.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface until about 5mm thick, and just a little larger than the pie dish. Brush some of the beaten egg along the rim of the dish. Lift the pastry lid over the top, press along the rim to seal, trim away any excess and crimp the edge. Glaze with more of the egg, and decorate with any pastry off-cuts, if you like. Cut a small steam hole in the top, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden, puffed up and bubbling.
