Aw yeah, word up Food Tube.
It's Jamie Oliver here, live from Hackney in London and we're here today to celebrate,
Australia day!
Yeah, round of applause everyone.
So, we're going to make beautiful pie.
So if you talk to an Australian they're pretty serious about their pies.
So my Australian brothers and sisters, let's share the love of pies with the rest of the
world in Food Tube.
It's a great recipe, beautiful stewed meat and the best pastry ever.
We're going to make killer, Aussie pie.
Let's do it now.
First important thing.
This is one kilo if skirt steak here.
So just slice it up in one centimetre slices.
We're going to go heavy on the black pepper, a heaped teaspoon.
Also, I'm going to go about half a nutmeg.
Just going to grate that in.
Going to go in with a little bit of olive oil.
About two tablespoons goes on the meat and a good pinch of salt.
And we're going to massage it up and that's the first bit of flavour happening.
Two pans, really hot and we want to brown that off guys.
So I'm just going to wash my hands.
Next up we're going to go a little bit of olive oil into a pan, four nice sprigs of
rosemary into the oil.
We';re going to go straight into the oil with 400 grams of carrots and onions, so let's
really caramelise these beautiful veggies here for another ten minutes.
While that's happening let's cut to a little bit of DJ BBQ and Gennaro Contaldo.
Yes!
Nice, thank you very much DJ BBQ and Gennaro, beautiful stuff as usual.
Now for a nice little bit of beer.
Okay, the Aussies do make a fine beer.
So we're going to crack into a Coopers brewery original pale ale.
And gi you love beer then click on this bottle now because we have our brothers over the
road, Craft beer Channel and they're review this beer amongst other beers.
So click over, have a little look and subscribe.
So back to the stew.
While this pan is super hot and it's dark right.
We're going to go in with the beer.
About a quarter of a pint.
We want to get all those sticky bits off the bottom of the pan and once it's cooked away
we want to thicken it up with one heaped tablespoon of flour.
We're going to stir that in now.
We want a little edge of sweetness.
So we love a little bit of tomato puree.
We love a little tablespoon.
Stir that in and then go in with our lovely caramelised veggies.
Look at that!
Sweet and gorgeous, so we've built up a little base.
Just go in now with about a pint of water.
We want to cover it with liquid.
There's one thing I haven't done, and that's the mushrooms.
200 grams into the pan.
I'm really pleased with that intense flavour.
I might just add a little bit more water and turn it right down to a little simmer.
Pop a lid on, cook that for about an hour, hour and half.
I've done a great little video to show you how to make the perfect cheesey pastry.
Click the link and watch it right now.
Okay guys, so this has chilled out in the fridge for about half an hour, an hour.
I'm going to cut the pastry.
One third goers there.
Get a pinch of flour and dust from a height.
Then I tend to just roll it out.
We're always going to roll away from us.
Roll ti about the thickness of a pound coin.
I'm going to put this over here.
Put it over the rolling pin and just roll it up.
Lay it over and then very simply.
Nice cut off the excess in half, and in half again then just use a knife to cut off the
excess.
Fill our lovely pies here.
Look at that!
So these little off cuts here.
We can just squeeze them lightly back together again.
Roll out.
Just going to cut it into quarters.
I've got a little egg wash here, that's just to stick it together.
Get your pastry and put it oin the top and again just cut the edge.
And then use a fork and just squeeze our fork here like this and then use thumb forefinger,
and forefinger and give a good pinch like that.
But definitely something you want to do.
Put a little cut like that in the top to let the steam out, so ready to rock and roll.
Is some beautiful little pies, again some beautiful little egg wash on and around the
central part.
So this is going to go in the oven, these are individuals portions so I'll cook that
for about half an hour, forty minutes for 180 degrees centigrade.
Look at that!
Beautiful golden rich crumbly pastry.
So there you go guys, a homage to our Australian brothers and sister.s
Happy Australia day!
So just break into there.
Get the pie open, look at that!
I mean, gorgeous filling, great pastry, It's off the chart good.
So there you go guys, a wonderful home made pie!
