This steak and kidney pie is a meal in itself! Perfectly seasoned beef and potatoes simmer beneath a flaky crust for a comforting, hearty old-fashioned pie. I like to use milder flavored lamb kidneys instead of beef.

Ingredients

  • lamb kidneys: 1 pound (fresh)
  • butter or lard: 2 Tbsp
  • round steak: 2 pound (cubed)
  • onions: 2 piece (chopped)
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tsp
  • thyme: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • bay leaf: 1 piece
  • water: 2 cups (divided)
  • potatoes: 4 cups (diced)
  • all-purpose flour: 6 Tbsp
  • recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie: 1 piece

  1. Remove fat and membrane from the kidneys; cut them in half and remove any white tissue in the center; dice into chunky pieces.

  6. Roll out pastry slightly larger than top of casserole dish; place pastry over meat mixture, and trim to leave a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Fold under, and flute against inside edge of casserole, then cut several slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
