Instructions

Making steak and kidney pie is a simple process that can be accomplished in just a few steps:

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
In a large pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened.
Add the diced steak and lamb kidneys to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Sprinkle the flour over the steak and kidneys, stirring to combine. Cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the chopped parsley. Allow to cool.
Place the steak and kidney mixture into an oven-proof dish. Cut the puff pastry sheet to fit the top of the dish.
Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pastry and place the dish into the oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Serve with mashed potatoes and your favourite vegetables.

Tips And Tricks

If the pie is getting too dark on top before it's cooked through, cover it with foil.
For a richer, more intense flavour, try adding a tablespoon of red wine to the filling.
For a healthier option, try using light puff pastry or even a mash potato topping instead of puff pastry.
To save time, you can use pre-made puff pastry, or you can make your own.
