Anytime I think of English food, the first thing that comes to mind is their rich and hearty savory pies. Nothing beats a steak, kidney and mushroom stew topped with pastry and all baked in the oven to create a one-pot wonder. The bottom side absorbs the flavor of the meat while the top gets nice and crunchy. It’s the ultimate in comfort food. The pastry used in this type of pie is rough puff or flaky pastry although you could also substitute with short crust pastry. The end result will still be just as tasty.. It might look like a lot of work but most of the time is in the actual cooking rather than the preparation. The beef filling could be prepared up to a day ahead, making it the perfect dish for a dinner party. For something extra special serve with extra gravy and buttered peas with shallots.
