Making a meat pie at home is a rewarding and delicious dinner project that allows you to customise flavours and ingredients to your liking.
The Windmill Mayfair’s Award-Winning Steak And Kidney Pie Recipe:
The Windmill Mayfair’s Award-Winning Steak And Kidney Pie Recipe. Begin by preparing the filling, which typically includes meat such as beef, lamb, or chicken, cooked with aromatics like onions, and a mix of vegetables like mushrooms.
Season the mixture with herbs such as thyme and fresh parsley, and thicken it with flour and stock to create a hearty, savoury filling.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before assembling the pie to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. For added depth of flavour, you can incorporate ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, into the filling.
The crust is equally important for a perfect meat pie.
Roll out the pastry, ensuring there are no cracks for leaks and seal the edges by crimping them with a fork.
Brush the top with an egg wash for a golden, glossy finish, and make small slits for steam to escape.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is beautifully browned and the filling is bubbling. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing, allowing the flavors to meld for the ultimate homemade treat.

Heat The Oven:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees C.
- Roll out the pastry until it’s around 1cm thick then cover the pie mixture. Brush with a beaten egg then place in the oven for 45 minutes.
