    We continue our Dutch Oven series today with a wonderful recipe. We are baking a delicious "Beef Steak Pie" from Amelia Simmon's 1796 cookbook, "American Cookery." Baking this recipe in a Dutch oven is very easy if you use the techniques we have learned in previous episodes. And seriously, this is one recipe that calls for mushroom ketchup! Be sure to cook cook this slowly -- around 300-degrees (F) for a couple of hours. Enjoy!
    The Dutch oven was perfectly suited for use on the frontier. One can fry in it, make stews and soups with it, as well as bake in it. While the first two cooking methods are fairly easy, baking with a Dutch oven can be a little intimidating. With a few hints and a little experimentation and practice, baking in this 18th-century pot can be easy and rewarding.

    This man is awesome at plugging his own merch in his video.
    A: he actually uses the products
    B: he tells you straight up that there are other things you could use to accomplish the same thing.
    That's a good, honest salesman mentality right there.

      I find his videos really relaxing. Never felt that way at a used car dealership. He might plug his wares but its not a shameless sales pitch. In fact, you can feel his passion for cooking. He's sincere and all his little tips and tricks are invaluable. Like rotating the pot, the adding of fluids. Minor details but major effects. That dish looks so yummy. Anyone else get hungry watching him eat at 9:10 ?

    I made this tonight with some short-cuts: electric oven, store bought pie crusts and a pyrex dish. I used a beef skirt steak cut across grain in strips and cooked for 150 min at 300. I also used mushrooms on one layer instead of onions. Oh, my God is this good!

      I'd almost certainly use some mushrooms. one good addition is to use a "shooter sandwich" style mix (food wishes has a video of it) of minced sauteed mushrooms, shallots, and garlic and do a layer of that. That would add to the savory flavor and make it a little denser pie.

      Hey good idea. I used several tubes of crescent rolls I picked up at Aldi's to try to make it as close to the video as possible. Hey, what liquid did you use and how much. I used just a beef stock in my first try but am thinking of using a good dark beer next time like a dose XX dark maybe.

  • @TheCynedd
    @TheCynedd 6 років тому +425

    I made this recipe with some variations: I used a full bottom crust and all went well. I cut my steak into smaller slices. For the liquid I used Guiness Stout. I added in some pressed garlic and Morel mushrooms.

      I definitely can understand that. I tend to do similar things with my steak. I mean I'm not harping on how others enjoy their steak, but just using salt and pepper alone I feel the steak ends up very bland. Fresh garlic at the very least is a must i feel.

    I made this today to go with some leftover potatoes and carrots from a Pot Roast yesterday. I didn't use a dutch oven or a deep dish pie tin because I don't have those yet, but I managed to get two layers in to an 8-inch pie tin and put some beef broth in with it. It turned out so tasty that my parents didn't even want to reheat the potatoes and carrots...they ate the entire tin of steak pie. I cooked it in the oven because I haven't built a fire pit yet. Love this recipe so much! The folks want this to be a standard meal for us! I love, love, love your videos...thanks!

      I love watching your 18th century recipes from here in the UK, they are just deliciously looking. You can just imagine a Colonial or early American family living in a small township, with the wife going down to the market perhaps once weekly, to buy produce and items for making flavourful meals and sweet treats for her family, perhaps to end the working week on a Sunday evening. However I am aware that many vegetables and some meat would be reared on the homestead or farm by the family.
      I am fascinated by 16th, 17th and 18th and 19th century American history and culture.

    I thought it be fitting to try it out on 4th of July. I made it with ground beef instead and a few cloves of garlic; it was great! Due the the ground beef's fat content I used less butter, and for the liquid I used beef stock. I chilled it for a few minutes in the fridge to solidify it. I'm gonna try it next time with pork, apples, and apple cider instead of beef, onions, and beef stock.

    A handy trick, a 12" 6 quart oven is the same size as a 9x13 pan.
    Also when using charcoal, multiply the diameter of by two and then that is the number of coals to use for a 350 degree oven. One third on bottom, two thirds on top.

  • @Acidicheartburn
    @Acidicheartburn 7 років тому +32

    I made this this weekend and it turned out absolutely fantastic! I was shocked at not only how easy this recipe is to prepare (buying the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry saved so much time and effort) but also how flavorful the end result was, given the limited ingredients and seasonings. It would be very easy to expand upon this recipe with other add-ins such as mushrooms and other vegetables, but the great part is that you don't need to - it's great as shown in the video. I cooked mine in a regular oven, 300 degrees for 2 hours and it came out perfect. Just let it cool off at room temperature for at least 1 hour before you try to serve slices or it will be VERY hot inside and be too runny to hold together. I will definitely be making this again in the future.

Instead of salt I used steak seasoning but didn't use any salt (outside of the steak seasoning) It's a great meal, my only suggested changes is to cut the steak into smaller pieces so it cuts easier. I also used London broil so I believe sirloin would have been much better. Great recipe!

      1/2 to 3/4 cup water
      Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Combine flour with salt in a mixing bowl. Add water and mix with hands until the dough comes together. Roll out on a table to about 1/3 inch thickness. Use a knife to cut 3×3 squares from the dough. Place on baking sheet, and use a dowel (like a chopstick or something) to make 16 evenly-spaced holes in each square. Bake for at least four hours, turning over once half-way through baking. Cool on a rack in a dry room.

Together with salt and pepper, I added in rosemary and thyme (which brought the flavor out). As a liquid I opted for a can of Guinness stout. Everything else followed the video at 300 degrees for 150 minutes. Served with peas and mint, this is a FANTASTIC family dinner!

    I made this today, and it's fantastic. I've had a Dutch oven for a long time and always wanted to do some campfire cooking with it, so I did some research, had my parents' neighbor weld a hook for my oven's lid, and prepared some mushroom ketchup. I dried and ground the chopped mushrooms from the mushroom ketchup, and I sprinkled some of that in with the salt, pepper, and flour for the first and third layer. For the liquid I used equal parts mushroom ketchup and homemade beef stock. For the beef I used some round steak that had been sliced a bit thinner than the shoulder in this video. Mine came out beautifully; everyone wished the pie was bigger or that there was a second one. I got a few requests for bottles of mushroom ketchup, too!

    I was a baker of these pies here in New Zealand. I never thought Americans had these pies except people here, Australia and England. We used cubed aged steak, white pepper, beef n onion bullion, worcester sauce, salt then boiled to cook fully then added modified corn starch to thicken and a caramel coloring to brown. Then finish off by chilling before filling pastry.
    We seal up then brush over top with egg wash to glaze.
    Other pies are..
    Bacon and egg.
    Mince n cheese.
    Steak n cheese.
    Cornish pasties
    Sausage rolls.
    Butter chicken curry
    My favorit is Steak and kidney.

    Why does this channel not have more views? It's like if Mr. Rogers decided to run a cooking show centered around 18th century recipes and techniques, and he has some of the smoothest, well-placed merch advertising on UA-cam. No sudden breaks in the video to pimp the merch, no blatant "BUY THIS STUFF" at the beginning or end. Just, "Hey, if you wanna cook along, we have products that will help get you started, or you can get an idea of what you need and see who else sells these. Also, this item we don't sell will be a big help so check into that, too."
