Steak and Kidney Pie

Steak and Kidney Pie is made by searing beef and kidney in a hot pan until they are browned on the outside. The meat is then simmered in a gravy made from beef stock, onions, and Worcestershire sauce until it is tender and flavorful. The mixture is then poured into a pastry crust and baked until the crust is golden brown and flaky. This dish is typically served with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable such as peas or carrots.
