I’ve had steak and kidney pie, and I’ve had Yorkshire pudding and Cornish pasty and good old bangers and mash, but I’ve never had steak and ale pie. Anybody got the recipe ?
1/2 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed1 tablespoon lard1/2 pound cubed beef1/4 pound carrots, diced1/4 pound turnips, diced1/2 pound peeled and cubed potatoes1/4 pound onions, diced1 cup water1 cup bitter ale1 tablespoon cornstarch1/4 cup cold watersalt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add lard, then meat. Toss to coat meat, and saute just long enough to brown meat on all sides. Remove from heat. Place meat in a 1 quart baking dish. Add carrots, turnip, potatoes, and onion. Mix well.
Place 1 cup water and ale in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into simmering ale mixture, whisking constantly. Continue to simmer until mixture has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture over meat and vegetables. Trim puff pastry to fit over top of filling.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until pastry is deep golden brown.
This reminds me that the number one topic of conversation among men in a bar is neither sports, women, or politics, It’s food ! Next time you visit your neighborhood bar or pub, see if I’m not right.
I recommend the bacon and onion pudding I mentioned earlier. Great with boiled potatoes, any green vegetables, carrots….. and so on.
In the UK many people think that the Americans don’t eat vegetables, just fast food. I, personally, don’t believe that, as all the Americans I know in England love vegetables.

Andy is treating Flo to a night on the town? He must be interested in sweetening her up for something! Another loan perhaps?

Ale pie, Sounds awful. I’ll have a medium rare steak and a cold Miller Lite.

Just blame it all on the media.
