🍛 How To Make James Martin Steak and Kidney Pudding

1. Turn the oven on high heat (350 F, 180 C). Put the drippings in a large casserole dish and heat it until it’s slightly smoking.
2. Brown the kidney and beef cubes together by stirring constantly. Return the stirring motion to the onions and carrots.
3. Toss the flour into the meat and vegetables and mix well.
4. Toss in the tomato puree, bay leaf, parsley, red wine, and stock. Reduce heat to low and cover; bring to a low boil. Cook for 1 hour in a preheated oven.
5. Take the casserole from the oven and set aside to cool. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Prepare the pastry. Toss the salt, baking powder, and flour into a baking bowl. Mix in the suet and mix well with the flour.
7. Make a stiff dough by adding enough cold water until it’s slightly sticky. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
8. Melt the butter in a 2-pint pudding basin. Roll out the bigger portion of dough to a circle big enough to line the basin with an additional 1/2 inch border after dividing it in half.
9. Sprinkle some flour on your hands and gently press the dough into the bottom of the basin.
10. Roll out the leftover dough into a big enough circle to form a cover, then add the meat mixture.
11. Fill the basin’s lip with cold water, place the lid on top, and press down firmly to close.
12. Place two circles of greaseproof paper over the bowl and tie them together with kitchen string.
13. Keep the water steaming over for 2 hours. Make sure the water is not boiling dry by checking it periodically. Add more boiling water as necessary.
14. Take the pudding out of the steamer, take off the greaseproof paper, and go ahead and serve.
