    Ingredients
    - 1.2kg beef brisket, silver skin removed and diced into 2.5cm cubes
    - 2 tbsp grapeseed oil
    - Two medium size carrots, diced
    - Two brown onions, finely diced
    - One stick of celery, finely diced
    - 500ml beef stock
    - 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
    - 50g all-purpose flour
    - Salt and pepper to taste
    - 3 tsp cornflour
    - 200g cheddar cheese
    - One sheet of puff pastry
    - One sheet of shortcrust pastry
    Method
    1. Start by seasoning your beef with salt and dusting it with flour.
    2. In a large heavy-based pot (you have a lid for) over a high heat, add your grapeseed oil and let it heat up.
    3. Once the grapeseed oil is hot, start sealing off your beef in batches so you don't crowd the pan.
    4. Once all the beef is browned, remove from the pan and set it aside.
    5. Add your onions to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes with a little salt.
    6. Next, add your carrots and celery and cook for a few more minutes.
    7. Add the beef back to the pot and add the Worcestershire sauce and stock.
    8. Stir it, bring it to simmer and then turn down low. Cook for 2 hours or until the beef is tender but still holding together.
    9. Once it's cooked, mix the cornflour with some cold water to make a slurry and while the beef stew is still over the heat stir it through to thicken up the sauce.
    10. Pour this out onto a tray to cool before you start assembling your pie.
    11. For the pie, start by greasing your pie tin and lay in the shortcrust pastry.
    12. Line the pastry with grease-proof paper and pie weights and bake at 180°c for 20 minutes.
    13. After the 20 minutes, remove the pie weights and place it back into the oven for another 15 minutes and then let it cool completely.
    14. Once cool, add your beef mixture to the pie casing and top it with the grated cheese.
    15. Egg wash the outside rim of the cooked pastry and lay on your puff pastry, cramping all the edges.
    16. Egg wash the puff pastry and bake at 180°c for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
    17. Enjoy.

    Australian here. My missus and I did our own 3 week tour around South New Zealand. There was this one pie shop we found in Te Anau that made the BEST pies we've ever had. On the last 3 days we were there we stayed in Queenstown and seriously considered driving back down to just get 1 more pie. All this to say, I couldn't agree more, New Zealand makes the best pies.

      I dont think you can compare UK and NZ pies.

    What I like the most about Andy is that he is really down to earth. No being extra extra fancy, just telling the facts and most importantly showing the whole process. He only does necessary video cuts and has a really nice pace to follow. Channels like Joshua Weissman (was one of my favorite channels in the past btw.) make great food and fancy content but they have shifted their style of classic YT videos to a TikTok like pace which I personally find really hard to follow, hard to learn from it and almost exhausting to watch. Andy gives me a nice feel of security when I try to reproduce the meals and he clearly differentiates between TikTok videos and YT videos. On Christmas I tried the beef wellington and I felt comfortable to make it with Andy's recipe. It came out perfectly. - Thank you so much Andy for your effort and sharing your knowledge with us.

      I disagree...while our big cities are stuffed with rubbish bakery franchises (Brumbys and Bakers Delight) and mediocre Vietnamese or Philipino owned bakeries making their own take of traditional Aussie pies and cakes (with shortcuts) that don't taste too good, therenare still exceptional pies in some places.
      In big cities there are hidden gem bakeries where awesome pies are made, but some of the best are from the hundreds of towns across Australia big enough to have a bakery...some of these are phenomenal and some people drive many kms to buy them.
      Or course not all town bakeries are created equal...but unlike the cities stuck with boring franchises, each town is like a discovery...and have quite a good turnover if the town is on a major highway.
      Yes there are 'gourmet' pies in our cities too but, I personally won't pay over a certain price for a pie or pastie.
      Just give me a good steak and kidney pie...so hard to find a good one these days since the standalone bakery shops closed down.

    • @nikiTricoteuse
      @nikiTricoteuse 3 місяці тому

      In case you haven't found a recipe this one seems pretty authentic. Some people mix the egg white and yolks rather than keep them separate. Separate is definitely prettier but some people (me) don't like the taste of the whites and yolks separately. Either way is perfectly acceptable. Whether or not you add other things seems to depend on the amount of people you're trying to feed and your budget - eggs and bacon being more expensive than mixed vegetables. My aunt would put peas and finely chopped cooked onion in the ones she brought to family picnics - they were really good too. Google will convert the temperatures and measurements for you, if you're not familiar with metric.
      Bacon and Egg Pie.
      Ingredients
      • 450g Flaky Puff Pastry
      • 225g lean bacon
      • 6 eggs
      • salt and pepper
      • Milk or beaten egg to glaze
      Method
      • Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Lightly grease a 20cm shallow cake tin or pie dish.
      • Roll out half of the rough puff pastry and line the prepared dish or use 1 sheet of the ready-rolled pastry.
      • Snip the bacon rashers into large pieces with kitchen scissors and arrange evenly over the pastry base.
      • Break in the eggs and prick the yolks so that they run slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little water.
      • Roll out the other piece of pastry and lift it carefully onto the filling. Or use the second sheet of frozen pastry and press the edges together to seal.
      • Using a sharp knife, cut away any excess pastry from the edges, arrange it in a stack to keep the layers intact and reroll. Cut out some leaves or other decorative shapes, and stick them on the top of the pie with a little water. Make 2-3 slits in the top of the pie. Brush the top with the milk or a little beaten egg.
      • Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pie is a beautiful golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
      Variation
      • 1 small onion, finely chopped, ½ cup mixed vegetables, 2 Tbsp spicy chutney.
      • Sprinkle the onion and mixed vegetables evenly over the pastry when you scatter over the bacon. Dot the chutney on top and then break in the eggs.

I have often heard of these savory pies but never seen one made or tasted one. It looks so delicious. Not much difference in prep and time to making a Sunday roast. It goes quickly with the option to use ready made pastry. I enjoy learning from the wide variety of culinary items you create including Asian, Indian, African etc. I have researched deeper some of the items I was unfamiliar with. Not sure how I found you but I thankful I did. I enjoy cooking, and sharing with family and friends. I find it creative and relaxing. Your method of teaching is so comfortable. I love that you keep your work station uncluttered and very clean. I would like to know more about managing/caring for my kitchen tools, the best way to manage putting food away and how to reheat or even create something else with the leftovers. Just like your idea of making sandwich out of the pie. I created a Meatloaf Soup from left overs once that everyone loved. I would also like tips on how to select the right food items to cook with. How to defrost fish or shrimp the proper way. Thank you for listening. Happy cooking from Minnesota. 🌎🥕🥦🫑🌮🧀

    For anyone wondering, it takes about an hour or two at 190f internal temperature or above to break down silverskin.
    The only application where you really run into that time and temperature is when you slowly bbq or stew something, so for every other application it is imperative that you trim your silverskin.

    Sometimes if I'm making the pastry from scratch I'll grate the frozen cheese through it, makes the crust really tasty as well as taking on a great colour.
    We do meat & cheese pies in the UK too. My favourite to make & eat being steak & Stilton. It can be plain Stilton or the blue type; Gorgonzola is another good contender.
    Another combo I like is pork, pear & blue cheese in a pie. 😋

      In his profile, Chef addressed his experience in school, being misunderstood by teachers. He identified dyslexia, not as a disability, but more as a teaching moment for. the reader. His honesty, forthcoming nature, exceptional communication skills and his decency Is one of the many reasons people connect with him. I hope you read his profile and stop using the word "disability.".I used the terminology Chef did, respecting and supporting his effort to fight the stigma that is often attached. It was my hope that some of his teachers watch this very talented, bright, emotionally skilled man and learn something. The irony is that Chef Andy is one of the best teachers on the Internet, in addition to being a brilliant chef.
      As for you, after reading your vile comments about Andy's wife, and women, in his previous videos, I take your comment more as baiting and unfortunate..
