BEEF, GUINNESS AND STILTON PIE
This is an indulgent and warming pie full of lovely rich flavors; this beef, Stilton and Guinness pie is perfect anytime and makes a great change to the standard beef pie with Stilton cheese offering a flavor depth and additional texture which works really well with beef. This is made using ready-made puff pastry, because life is too short to make your own! Method.

- Transfer it to a casserole dish. Preheat the oven to or 160°C (150 fan) Add the onion and garlic and another tablespoon of the oil to the pan and cook them for 5 minutes until softened.

Spoon the meat mixture into the bowl and add pieces of Stilton. Wet around the top of the dish, place a collar of pastry around, made from trimmings, and then put on the lid. Seal the edges well; tuck the excess pastry under the rim.

BEEF AND STILTON PIE
Slightly adapted pie originally from the Hairy Bikers, posted here so that I don't lose it. Prep time includes 3 hours marinading time, but ideally marinade overnight. I intend to try it cooking the filling in a slow cooker but haven't got round to it yet.

Steps:
- Use the pastry to line a medium sized oven proof pie dish.
- For the pie filling, place the beef, garlic, thyme, peppercorns and ale into a bowl. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Remove the beef from the marinade, pat dry with kitchen paper and dredge in the seasoned flour. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and set aside.
- Heat the oil and 1 tbsp of the butter in a flameproof casserole dish and fry the beef in small batches for 2-3 minutes each time, or until browned all over. Once the meat is browned, remove from the casserole dish and set aside.
- Return the casserole dish to the heat and fry the mushrooms and shallots for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
- Return the beef and the reserved marinating liquid to the casserole and add the beef stock. Cover with a lid and gently simmer for 1½ hours, or until the beef is tender.
- Strain off half of the cooking liquid from the casserole dish and set aside to make gravy for serving.
- Crumble the Stilton into the casserole and stir until melted. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- Put the pie filling into the pie shell and top with a layer of pastry. -Remember to cut slits in the top and crimp the edges together, then glaze with beaten egg.
- Cook for approx 40 mins until pastry is golden.
- Place the reserved cooking liquid into a clean pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until reduced to a gravy consistency. Stir in the remaining tbsp of butter until melted, and the sauce is smooth and glossy. Keep warm.
- Serve the pie with the gravy and veg (celeriac mash goes well).

BRITISH OPEN TOP STEAK, ALE AND STILTON PUB STYLE PIES
Delicious individual pies which are perfect for supper, lunch or a picnic. These contain steak & onions cooked in good quality ale with a Stilton cheese & mashed potato topping, instead of the usual pastry. My own invention which is requested regularly now; this recipe was born out of left over mashed potato, stewed steak in ale and the dried up end pieces of some Stilton cheese! Here I have given instructions for my basic steak in ale casserole, but have assumed that you will know how to make mashed potatoes - I have also suggested frozen shortcrust pastry for ease! Serve these pies with chips, more mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables....and don't forget the pint of ale to accompany them! "British Open Top" is a play on words, based on the British Open Top Mini car I used to have when I was a student....NO pastry tops here you see!!

Steps:
- Peel and chop the onions. Cut up the braising steak into small cubes.
- Heat some oil in a large and deep saucepan. Add the onions and sauté gently for about five minutes until soft.
- Add the meat and cook to seal.
- Add the flour and stir in to meat juices.
- Continue to cook to cook out the flour, adding the beer gradually to prevent sticking to the pan until all the beer has been added.
- Add beef stock cubes, salt and pepper to taste and stir until dissolved.
- Add water to thin down the gravy. The amount will vary according to how much juice has come out of the meat so add gradually until the right consistency is achieved.
- Add the English mustard and mix well.
- Once boiling reduce the heat, cover and simmer very gently for at least two hours.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Pre-heat oven to 210C/425°F.
- Roll out the ready made shortcrust pastry and line 4 individual pie moulds with it - I used a Yorkshire pudding tin - the diameter of the moulds in the tin was 5" - or use individual aluminium pie containers.
- Line each pastry round with greaseproof paper and bake blind for about 5 - 10 minutes; using baking beans or heavy beans to keep the pastry flat.
- Remove the greaseproof paper and beans; divide the steak in ale mixture between the 4 pies.
- Mix the Stilton cheese into the ready-made and well seasoned mashed potato and pile on top of the steak and pastry bases.
- Place a knob of butter on top of each mashed potato topping and bake in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and the potato and Stilton cheese topping is golden brown & bubbling.
- Serve with extra ale gravy if desired and seasonal vegetables - OR allow to cool, wrap and take on a picnic!
- You can prepare and part cook your Steak and Ale Pie on the one day and then complete the cooking on the following day which will allow the flavours to come out even more.
- Suggested Ales: Theakson's Old Peculiar; Old Speckled Hen; Hobgoblin Strong Dark Ale; Hooky Dark.

Steps:
- First, make the pastry. Put the flour, mustard powder, ½ tsp salt, the lard and butter in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add 1 egg and pulse again. Add 1 tbsp cold water, if needed, until it forms a short pastry. Knead quickly into a ball, then wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins. Can be made three days ahead or frozen for two months.
- Season the steak generously and toss with the flour and mustard powder. Heat half the oil in a large pan. Brown the meat in a few batches, adding more oil as you need to and making sure you don't overcrowd the pan. Turn the meat only when the underside has a nice dark crust. Transfer the chunks to a plate as you go.
- Add the bacon to the pan and fry until beginning to crisp. Tip in the carrots, onions and bay leaves and cook for another few mins until the veg is soft. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato purée for 1 min, scraping the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan, then add the stock, thyme and browned beef. Season, cover the pan and simmer gently for 2½ hrs, stirring now and again to prevent the sauce from sticking, until the beef is tender. Remove the lid for the last 30 mins to thicken the sauce. Alternatively, braise in the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3 for the same amount of time. Leave to cool. Can be chilled for up to three days, or frozen for two months.
- Transfer the beef to a pie dish and crumble the cheese over the top. Place the marrowbone in the centre, nestling it into the meat. Alternatively, use a pie funnel or piping nozzle. Roll out the pastry on a floured worktop until large enough to cover the pie and about ½cm thick. Brush the remaining beaten egg over the edges of the pie dish, drape the pastry over, trim the excess and pinch around the edge to seal. Cut a hole for the marrowbone or pie funnel to poke through, and brush the top all over with beaten egg. Use the pastry trimmings to decorate the pie however you like. Chill for about 30 mins while you heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- If you have any beaten egg left, give the pie a final brush for extra glossiness. Bake for 45-50 mins until the pastry is deep golden.
