Why steak pie at new year

There are a variety of ways you can cook your side of salmon — bake it, poach it or cure it, it really is up to you.

It is also incredibly versatile — you can choose from any recipe starting with a simple squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper to adding some dill or coat it in honey. Tip: Overcooked salmon is the worst thing. Check that it is cooked by taking a skewer and pushing it into the deepest section of the fish. After 10 seconds put to your tip lip and if it is nice and warm your salmon is perfectly cooked.

Please try again. Perhaps, you have a vegan or vegetarians to cater for? These are all things to consider when cooking up your first meal of the year. Here we have some suggestions of dishes to kick-off Steak pie Traditional steak pie.

Instructions Firstly take your mixing bowl and toss the beef in the plain flour, this will help insulate the meat while browning as well as helping the sauce to thicken. Once hot add the onions and cook until soft. Once the onions are soft add the beef to brown it, this should only take a few minutes. Once browned add the stock, Worcester Sauce, tomato puree, Dijon mustard and seasoning.

Bring the mixture slowly to the boil. Once it begins to boil reduce the heat and allow to gently simmer for about 2. Once the sauce is good and thick and the meat is soft tip the mixture into the pie dish. Cover the top of the pie dish with the rolled puff pastry and use a knife to trim off any excess pastry.

Use your thumb or a fork to push down or crimp the edge of the pastry along the rim of the dish, helping to seal the mixture and the flavour in. Brush with a beaten egg or milk to help the pastry brown. Make a hole in the centre of the pie to allow steam to exit during cooking. Place the pie into the preheated oven for roughly 30 mins or until the pastry has risen and is golden brown.

Notes You can make the stew in advance, like the night before or in the morning. Variations Add sausages partway through cooking. If you are using sausages with a high fat content you may want to boil for 20 minutes or fry off in a pan first so the pie doesn't get too greasy.

Add carrots or mushrooms, although this isn't strictly traditional. We hope it tasted as good as it smelt! Steak and three mushroom pie. Steak and kidney pie. Steak and ale pie. Easy Beef and Gravy Pie. See all 12 recipes.
