Instructions

To make the steak and kidney pie, start by seasoning the cubed steak and kidney with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl and lightly coat the steak and kidney with the flour. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan and add the steak and kidney cubes. Cook over a medium heat until the meat is browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Return the meat to the pan and add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and then add the beef stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the steak and kidney is tender.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the steak and kidney mixture to an ovenproof dish. Cut the puff pastry to fit the top of the dish and place it over the top. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve the steak and kidney pie hot with mashed potatoes.
