A Manly Meal for the first Autumn Chill

It's not exactly freezing but it is the time of year when I start thinking about meals that, for lack of a amend word are 'manly'.   This wonderfully robust pie is something I wrote about in a very early on entry on this blog. In addition to the advertised Steak and Guinness, the filling includes lots of onions, carrots, celery. But the unmentioned ingredients at the eye of this creation are a rich mélange of meat and mushrooms and Cheese—glorious English Cheddar. And it's all yours to discover when the perfect puff pastry topping is lifted.  Well over 3500 people have visited this recipe.   And it's from a Chef I admire as much for his caring as I do for his cooking.

Jamie Oliver is someone to admire.

If you lot have followed his career, you can't assistance but be impressed. Started cooking at his father's pub at 8. Culinary Schoolhouse at 16. Enormously successful Telly personality, "The Naked Chef", in his 20s. Now, at the ripe old historic period of 46, he'southward working with unemployed young people at his not-for-turn a profit restaurant/cooking school "Fifteen".  He is also adamant to get junk food out of British schoolhouse lunchrooms. No wonder he was on the Queen'southward Honors List in 2003. He received his M.B.E for service to the Crown. Unfortunately, Jamie has gone through what the Brits label 'a rough patch'.  His restaurant empire failed, taking with information technology many jobs (estimated at 1000.).  Nevertheless, Jamie soldiers on buoyed no incertitude by this: Oliver is the second-acknowledged British author, behind J.Thou. Rowling, and the best-selling British non-fiction author since records began.  As of February 2019, Oliver has sold more than 14.55 million books, generating just under £180m ($250m US)for the chef.

"Jamie at Habitation" (Hyperion 2008) is a good read and a neat recipe source.

Equally an inveterate reader of cookbooks,  the recipes are what makes the difference to me. "Steak, Guinness and cheese pie with a puff pastry lid" seemed to perfect dinner for a cold fall night. I love a good braise. I loved the idea that once y'all've prepared the pie, you're advised to serve it with some uncomplicated, buttered peas. And and so here it is, with some changes from what appeared in "Jamie at Habitation". What changes? Fundamentally, the oven temperature was too hot for the kickoff role of the cooking. So I lowered it. And the original recipe called for four field mushrooms. I upped that number to ten ounces. I was actually pleased with the results. A cute puff pastry crust and a densely rich filling brand portion command a really good idea here. I think yous could serve 8 easily with i 9 inch pie. It's worth every moment information technology takes to cook.  And here it is:

Jamie Oliver's Steak and Guiness Pie

Servings: 6 Hearty Appetites

Difficulty: It's actually quite piece of cake to make. Do not be put off by the length of the instructions.

This wonderfully robust pie is a rich melange of steak, stout and glorious English language Cheddar.

Directions

• Pace i Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Step 2 In a large, ovenproof casserole, heat a glug of olive oil on low heat.
• Step 3 Add together the red onions and sauté them very slowly for about 10 minutes.
• Stride 4 Plow the oestrus up and add the garlic, butter, carrots, celery, one-half the cheese and then besprinkle in the mushrooms. Mix all the vegetables together and so add the beefiness, the rosemary a pinch of salt, and a level teaspoon of black pepper.
• Footstep 5 Sauté the beefiness and vegetables for 3 to four minutes.
• Pace 6 Pour in the Guinness, stir in the flour and if necessary, add together enough water to cover.
• Step seven Bring the dish to a simmer
• Pace 8 so cover the casserole with its lid and put it into the oven.
• Stride nine Bake for an hour and a one-half, and then take the goulash out of the oven, check to see that there'due south enough liquid, stir and put it dorsum in the oven for another hour or until the meat is very tender. The pie filling should be rich, dark, and thick. If necessary, reduce the liquid on the pinnacle of the stove. Exist conscientious not to burn it. Remove from heat and then add the 2d one-half of the cheese and stir. At this point, yous can put the pie filling aside or continue. (I made the filling then chilled it, and fabricated the pie some other twenty-four hours.)
• Footstep 10 To assemble the pie, have two 9 X 9 sheets of puff pastry out of the freezer and thaw for forty minutes.
• Step xi Prepare a pie dish by greasing it with butter or a non-stick spray like Pam.
• Step 12 Grit a clean work surface with flour, and then roll 1 canvass of puff pastry out till it is about one/eight inch thick. Put that sheet on the bottom of the pie plate and let the pastry droop over the sides.

• Step sixteen Gently place the cross-hatched crust on height of the pie. Put the pie on a sheet pan placed on the bottom of your oven. Broil for an additional 45 minutes. This gave me a beautifully cooked crust–better than any puff pastry I'd ever cooked earlier.
• Stride 17 *Baby Bella mushrooms take more season than plain white mushrooms but you lot can certainly utilise them if no Baby Bellas are available. This was very well received. I did follow Jamie'due south advice and served it with some frozen peas, one of my favorite vegetables.
