Steak and ale pie is a British dish made from a hearty beef and vegetable stew flavored with ale. The stew is put in a pie dish and baked with either shortcrust or puff pastry on top. Although people like a bottom crust as well, I left it out because it just increases the calories and gets soggy from the stew liquid. Set aside using a slotted spoon.

Instructions to make Steak and Ale Pie:
  1. Start off by adding the diced beef to some flour and mixing well. Once done add a little oil to a large pan and heating. Add the diced beef and brown. While this is going on add the porcini mushrooms to a small pan of water and leave to cook for about 10 mins.
  2. Once browned add the onion and beef stock to the mix and keep stirring.
  3. Once throughly mixed add the carrots and mushrooms.
  4. At this point add the porcini mushrooms to the mix again keep stirring.
  5. Again keep stirring as the mix will stick to bottom of pan other wise. At this point add the boddingtons.
  6. At this point it will probably look quite watery but dont worry it will thicken up. At this point you can add the salt, pepper and thyme.
  7. Finally after about 20 mins add the basil and either some cornflour or oxo cubes to help thicken the mixture up.
  8. Once you have finally got the mixture ready time to sort your pie out. Get your self about 500g of shortcrust pastry either buy or make yourself.
  9. Roll the pastry out on a flat surface your going to need to split the pastry for the bottom and topping also depending on the size of your dish.
  10. Line the dish with the first lot of pastry making sure there is an overlap on the outside of the dish.
  11. Next take your mixture amd sieve it so that alot of the juicy drops into a bowl underneath.
  12. Add the sieved mixture to your dish till just below the top and level.
  13. Take the second part of your pastry and cover the dish pushing the edges together and slightly into the dish to make a crust around the outside.
  14. Finally using a knife slice a few lines into the pastry so it cooks evenly.
  15. Place in the oven about 180 for about 30 mins or till pastry golden brown.

Although people like a bottom crust as well, I left it out because it just increases the calories and gets soggy from the stew liquid. Set aside using a slotted spoon. What gives British steak and ale pie its rich, characteristic richness is the use of ale. Good, dark brown English ale is a must to get a deeply infused flavor. Braising the beef in the ale and other ingredients makes it beautifully moist and tender that comes together to make a delicious, saucy filling.
