Steak & Kidney Pie Mix 115g

The Ultimate Steak and Kidney Pie Mix.
A steak and kidney pie spice mix isn't a single, pre-made blend but a combination of seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic, and sometimes allspice, cloves, and bay leaves that are used to flavor the meat and gravy. In place of a specific mix, chefs add individual spices and ingredients such as garlic, bay leaves, allspice, and a barbecue spice or other seasoned salt to build a rich, savory flavor profile for the filling.
Common spices in a steak and kidney pie
Salt and pepper: Freshly ground black pepper is a must, while salt is used to taste. Some recipes also include white pepper.
Garlic: Freshly crushed or minced garlic is added to the cooking fat to release its pungent aroma.
Bay leaves: These are a classic addition, lending a subtle, earthy flavor to the savory filling.
Allspice/Pimento: This spice adds a warm, sweet, and slightly peppery note. It's often added as whole berries that are removed before serving.
Thyme: A classic herb for beef dishes, it adds a fragrant, slightly floral flavor.
Other flavor enhancers: Recipes also commonly include Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, or a barbecue spice blend to deepen the savory, umami notes of the dish.
How to use the spices
Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a pot and sauté onions until softened, then add garlic and stir for another minute.
Brown the meat: Add the steak and kidney, and brown it on all sides.
Add spices and liquids: Add the chosen spices, such as allspice, bay leaves, and thyme. Then, add liquids like beef stock, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce, along with flour or gravy granules to thicken the sauce.
Simmer: Let the mixture simmer until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Remove whole spices: Before serving or filling the pie, remove any whole spices like bay leaves or cloves.
