Steak, oyster mushroom and Cornish Knocker ale pie, bone marrow pastry
As an incredibly popular meat within the UK, beef recipes are vast and varied. With a range of beef cuts to consider as well as cooking methods and flavour pairings, beef recipes are varied in flavour, texture and preparation time - give this one a try for yourself! Steak, oyster mushroom and Cornish Knocker ale pie, bone marrow pastry. A warming Steak and Cornish Knocker ale pie recipe with bone marrow pastry and oyster mushrooms.
Ingredients
Method
To make the pastry, put all of the dry ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until evenly mixed.
Slowly add the water to form a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
To prepare the pie filling, first brown the beef all over in veg oil. Set aside. Next sweat down the veg and garlic.
Return the meat to the pan and add the beer - reduce the beer by two thirds.
Add the rest of the ingredients (including the mushrooms) and simmer for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours (or until the beef is tender). Remember when seasoning not to add too much as the sauce will reduce and concentrate.
Allow to cool. Fill your pie dish and then top with the pastry. Create a small hole in the centre to allow the steam escape. Brush with milk.
Cook for approximately 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately (with a pint of Cornish Knocker, obviously!)
