Steak and Ale Pie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs stewing beef, cubed
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cup ale
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed beef with 2 tablespoons of flour until evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet. Add the beef stock, ale, diced carrots, diced celery, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the pie dish, trimming any excess pastry. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Steak and Ale Pie is a classic British dish with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. This hearty pie was originally created as a way to make the most of leftover meat and ale, a staple beverage in England. The dish gained popularity in pubs and homes across the country, with each region adding its own unique twist to the recipe. Chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver have put their own modern spin on this traditional dish, making it a favorite in contemporary British cuisine. Today, the best versions of Steak and Ale Pie can be found in cozy pubs and traditional British restaurants, where the tender chunks of beef are slow-cooked in a savory ale-infused gravy and encased in buttery, flaky pastry. The key to a perfect Steak and Ale Pie lies in the quality of the beef, the richness of the ale, and the skillful preparation of the pastry crust. While the classic recipe calls for a top crust, some chefs also add a layer of puff pastry for an indulgent twist. Whether enjoyed with a pint of ale or a side of mushy peas, Steak and Ale Pie continues to be a beloved comfort food that embodies the heartiness and warmth of British cuisine.
