I have a Steak Pie

[rachbon]

i have braising steak for dinner tonight. i was going to grill it but apparently it would be too tough and needs to be cooked in the oven.

is it ok to just wrap the steaks in tinfoil and cook them on an oven tray, or do they need to be on a deeper tray with a bit of water?

I would usually use braising steak for a stew, but you can keep them steak shaped if you want but cook slowly in some stock either on the hob or in the oven with onion carrot and celery.

Season the meat, then put some flour on it. Seal the steak on a frying pan for a few minutes and then throw it in the oven in a casserole dish ~(with the cover on) at a lowish heat, about 180c, for 2 hours with some onions and some strong stock. Beautiful!

Im hungry now....Lunch time.

i don't have a caserole dish, flour or stock

i have a square glass dish that i use for lasagne, would they be ok in that with some hot water? in tin foil or not?

[The Nal]

yup that would be fine. They wont dry out but they might not be very flavourful. Yes put tin foil on.

Alternatively, give Pogo a bell and get him round to help.

i'll be going food shopping later on but not til like half 5, what if i cook it in the dish wrapped in tin foil with a wee bit water, then i'll buy some stock while i'm out and just add that for the last half hour?

Put some salt/pepper/onions in with the water to make it more flavoursome

I don't eat cheese. I have cheese-less pizzas ...

[rachbon]

right i'm just going to wrap them in foil and put them in the dish with some hot water, i'll put a wee bit salt and pepper in the water, then i'll add a bit of stock in for the last half hour once i've been food shopping later.

[rachbon]

it's decided then. thank's everyone! i'll report back later and let you all know if they were edible or not.

The steak was quite nice but I'll be sticking to sirloin or rump steak in the future. I don't eat it that often and didn't realise there was a difference in the way you have to cook it.
