does anyone have a good traditional recipe for steak pie for new years day?
want to make my own this year and need a plan please...
thanks

I tend to do it differently every time but it will usually contain the following:
Ready made puff pastry.
Season flour and roll the meat in it.
Fry the meat off to cook the flour and seal the meat.
A couple of onions.
stalk of celery.
Bay leaf
Thyme
Red wine or a stout
Cook in a casserole dish in the oven until meat is tender.
Add pastry on top and finish off until golden.
Mushrooms if you want it.

A traditional Scottish New Year steak pie has link sausage in it. Yummy :yum: :yum: :yum:
-
sausage? i never new that is that as well as proper steak?
-
Yes! ???
It's an abomination IMHO, I think it's one of those things that if you haven't grown up with it, it's hard(er) to appreciate. ;)
-
i'll stick with the steak thing :excited: :excited: :excited:

link sausage is fine (in anything!), lorne sausage you have to be born to IMHO ;)

nope i have only been here 3 years and prefer lorne...

I've had steak pie in all parts of Scotland and never had one with sausage in it - I think that's just a way of making the steak spin out - it's not a steak pie if it's not just steak! :rant:

You must be posh. In Alloa, steak pie has sausage in it. But we were poor so it probaby was to fill it out.

Every large steak pie I've ever bought from the butcher has beef link in too (but I'm not a lover of it either)
I cook my steak in the slow cooker, make a gravy from the juices and assemble in a pie dish. Before putting the pastry top on I sprinkle some grated cheese over the beef/gravy (as per Jamie Oliver's steak & ale pie) et voila :yum:

Do you have a pastry bottom too Karen? (so to speak :D )
In my head a pie is a filling encased in pastry, not what you get down the pub when they just plonk a bit of puff pastry on top of a beef casserole. >:(
-
Ours always have sausage in Yum!

Radio Four Kitchen Cabinet was from Berwick on Tweed today. Hogmanay steak pie was discussed, and the view taken by the Scots in the audience was that sausage is an integral part of how the pie should taste. As an aside, I made a cottage pie last week with added chorizo (it needed to be used up!) I thought it worked well, so not unlike a Hogmanay steak pie really!

My dad (Scottish) introduced me to the delight of Lorne Sausage in a crusty roll, bit of salt and brown sauce <drool>
Never had any form of sausage in steak pie though!!
-
My Grandfather, father and some cousins had butcher shops and they never put sausages in their steak pies, their customers would have run them out of town up here. It would spoil the taste of a good steak pie.
-
Never watched Still Game then, There steak pie has to have a sausage in it.
-
I'm guessing that it must be a regional thing - adding sausages.
I too have never heard of a steak pie having sausages in it.
However I did do a web search for 'traditional Scottish steak pie recipe' and I was surprised that there were recipes which included sausages.

Dan - this could be a whole other discussion - pastry bottom or not - I'm not fussed really.
-
well mine won't have sausages or a pastry bottom sorry...

Just how I feel - I'd have thrown it back if I'd tasted sausage - cheap muck spoiling a good pie :innocent:

Excuse me! Our sausages are not "cheap muck".

I prefer the sausage to the steak :innocent:

One of my friends also puts in a slice of black pudding. You would never put a cheap sausage in. Has to be the best.

That's 'cos it's not Shetland steak :thumbsup:

I wasn't referring to your own sausages or your own home made steak pie. :-* It's up you how you make it. Personally any sausage put in a steak pie is cheaper than what should be in it, perhaps muck was a bit strong. :innocent:
