The perfect Scottish pie must have a thick, dark gravy. The meat has to be tender and flaky and the rich taste comes from hours and hours of slow cooking. The top must be a layer of light puff pastry cooked long enough to not be soggy on the bottom, but short enough not to be burned on the surface.

Steak and ale pie is a British dish made from a hearty beef and vegetable stew flavored with ale. The stew is put in a pie dish and baked with either shortcrust or puff pastry on top. Although people like a bottom crust as well, I left it out because it just increases the calories and gets soggy from the stew liquid. Set aside using a slotted spoon.
Steps to make Steak and Ale Pie:
- Start off by adding the diced beef to some flour and mixing well. Once done add a little oil to a large pan and heating. Add the diced beef and brown. While this is going on add the porcini mushrooms to a small pan of water and leave to cook for about 10 mins..
- Once browned add the onion and beef stock to the mix and keep stirring..
- Once throughly mixed add the carrots and mushrooms..
- At this point add the porcini mushrooms to the mix again keep stirring..
- Again keep stirring as the mix will stick to bottom of pan other wise. At this point add the boddingtons..
- At this point it will probably look quite watery but dont worry it will thicken up. At this point you can add the salt, pepper and thyme..
- Finally after about 20 mins add the basil and either some cornflour or oxo cubes to help thicken the mixture up..
- Once you have finally got the mixture ready time to sort your pie out. Get your self about 500g of shortcrust pastry either buy or make yourself..
- Roll the pastry out on a flat surface your going to need to split the pastry for the bottom and topping also depending on the size of your dish..
- Line the dish with the first lot of pastry making sure there is an overlap on the outside of the dish..
- Next take your mixture amd sieve it so that alot of the juicy drops into a bowl underneath..
- Add the sieved mixture to your dish till just below the top and level..
- Take the second part of your pastry and cover the dish pushing the edges together and slightly into the dish to make a crust around the outside..
- Finally using a knife slice a few lines into the pastry so it cooks evenly..
- Place in the oven about 180 for about 30 mins or till pastry golden brown..
