Description

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups plain flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup | 225g unsalted butter, chilled
• ¼-1/3 cup water
• extra melted butter
• 1kg chuck steak
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• ~1/2 cup red wine
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 lamb kidneys

Directions

• Preheat oven to 200C | 400F.
• Spray a muffin pan (or mini pie pans if you have them) with cooking oil.
• In your mixer, add the flour and salt.
• Chop up the butter into small cubes. Mix into the flour and salt until it becomes a course meal texture.
• Slowly pour in the water in a slow stream. If the dough is too sticky add more flour. If too dry, add more water.
• Roll out to ⅛-inch thickness.
• Split the dough in half- one half for the base, one half for the tops.
• Use a large glass or round cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Its handy to use a slightly smaller glass for the tops, but measure it against your own muffin tins.
• Press the base dough circles into the muffin tin.
• For the dough tops, cut a small opening in the centre of each and set aside.
• Cut out the white centre of the lamb kidneys and discard.
• Very finely chop up both the beef and the lamb kidneys. Mix together in a bowl.
• Sprinkle the salt and cayenne pepper over the meat and stir to distribute.
• Scoop the mixture into the muffin tins, adding a bit more in the centre to help keep the rounded pie top shape.
• When filled, pour a little red wine in.
• Press the dough tops on, and use a fork to press the edges together.
• Finish by brushing some melted butter on top of the dough.
• Pop into the hot oven and cook for ~30 minutes.
