Scottish Steak Pie

Does anyone know if I can get a Scottish steak pie anywhere in London or the South East for Ne'erday? Left it too late to order online I think. Sad
Thanks!

I make mine slightly different.
I coat my diced steak in seasoned flour first then brown it, add finely diced onion then pour boiling water over & bring to boil again then simmer it forever, into dish, pastry lid then oven. YUM!

In all my years I have nivver kent known of a steak pie with sausages in.
Are you sure it was a sausage, hen, and not the butcher's finger?

I'm a Weegie originally but proxy Fifer for over 12 years now...never had a sausage in my steak pie in either continent!

I slow cook braising steak overnight with veg, then transfer to ashet with pastry just before serving.

I'm a Fifer. My gran put sausages in stew but not steak pie.

I make it for NYD but add red wine and onion Bisto. Plus some diced celery, then cook the stew for about 4 hours. I can't do pastry so it is a square of ready rolled here.

Sausages is for stew not steak pie.

I do sometimes do a bit of garlic and red wine though, but never a sausage.

Never heard of a sausage in a steak pie! OP have you tried M&S , they do them in Telford (because of all the Scots here) and they're no bad

We always had sausages in our steak pie on New Years Day.

The butcher in my home town says he is no longer able to sell them - so sells the steak pies sausageless - they are still lush but not the same.

Maybe the sausage in the steak pie is a regional thing? Family are all from The Port/Greenock/Gourock area?

Ah yes, PiffPaffPoff, the butcher in Dollar is a lovely man but the sausages in his pies are heinous. I secretly buy mine in Dunblane instead.

Must be a regional thing - my DH's weegie family love steak pie with sausage, but I'd never had it before I met him. It's not the done thing in Dundee! Smile

I spend my childhood hating steak pie, and only realised a few years ago, it doesn't always have sausages in it.

Yucky beef sausages, bleauch.

Morrisons here sell bells pastry, flaky rough puff.

I just had to bump this thread to say that I had steak pie today at my in-laws and it had sausages in it! First time ever I've seen that (Fife).

I've just finished cooking the filling for my steak pie - it has been casseroling for hours, and I've just thickened the gravy - and it tastes really good! However, I have bought puff pastry, so that bit will be cheaty, sorry.

My New Year Steak Pie was from the butchers in Dunfermline and it (a) was tremendous and, more importantly,(b) had nae sausages in it.

We had steak pie from the butchers for tea minus the sausages, sausages in steak pie is criminal!

My home made pie was delicious - and nae sausages here, either.

Excellent work - didn't taste too bad even with the sausages! Also bought in Dunfermline! But I think I prefer it without!

This thread has made me chuckle! Didn't help me track down a steak pie though Wink
We finally settled on one from Sainsburys which wasn't too bad, and most importantly was free from the devil food - slimy sausages. Yeeuch!
