I wasn't going to post this because I used Filo dough instead of puff pastry, but it was so good I had to.

My wife Jackie fixed the Filo dough the best she could, I should of talked to her before I went to the market. She said the next time she would make the Puff Pastry.

    Ross and Jackie, That is a very interesting cook. It looks very tasty. The two of you are always into cooking something very good. Thanks for all of your posts. You inspire me and often times make it easy for me to copy cat your cooks. Tim ;)

    Man that looks good. The weather is starting to get a little cool and I think that would make a perfect dish on a cold weather night. Very nice.

    Ross,

    Very nice. Put about a pound of kidney in there and I'll be there in five hours.

    Thanks Steve, I was working on a film In London (If its Tuesday this must be Belgum) 1968 and the Cater served Steak and Kidney Pie,I didn't like it. Do you have a recipe for it or just add it what I have?

    Ross,

    Same idea as yours without any vegetables except onions. Kidneys have to be really well cleaned and soaked in multiple changes of water. It was always a special treat when I was growing up.

    Ross in my experience the perfect or not so perfect cleaning of the kidneys makes all the difference in the taste

    Hey, Do you by any chance have a recipe for a great guinness stew? We were recently in Ireland and had some really great stews, but have no idea how to make them. We have an old recipe that seems to come out sort of bitter.

    Does this help?

    Beef, Stew, Guinness, Smokin' Stogies


    INGREDIENTS:
    2 lbs Beef chuck steak cubed to 1 inch (you can use mutten as well)
    4 16 Ozs Cans Guinness (2 for the stew, 2 for you
    1 1/2 Tbs vegetable oil
    1 cup chopped (large chop) onions (I use Sweet Mayan)
    1 clove garlic chopped
    1 cup mushrooms if you like, not required
    1 Tbs black pepper
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1 cup beef stock
    1/4 cup flour
    2 bay leaves
    2 cups carrots, chopped or quartered
    2 cups chopped (1 inch size) potatoes, starchy ones
    2 Tbs chopped parsley
    2 Tbs Penzey's Fox Point Seasoning (use 2 teaspoons each Thyme, Marjoram, Sage as an alternative)




    PROCEDURE:
    1 Dredge the beef through flour as a skillet or CI Dutch Oven is heating, use the oil to brown the beef on all sides in small batches. Transfer to Crock insert (what I am going to try on the Egg) or place in a bowl. When all the meat is done, add the garlic and onions and just about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the broth in the skillet or DO, heat on med lo and scrape the leavings. Return the beef to the DO or leave in the crock and add the skillet scrapings/onions and add 2 cans of Guinness, drink the other two. Place in 230-250* egg indirect. (the rest can be done in either DO or insert or even in a conventional crock pot) Let it simmer for 1 hour in just the Guinness. Then add the rest of the stock, veggies and herbs and slow cook it for 2-3 hours, it should thicken on it's own, if not make a rue of flour and beef stock and add it. If it gets too thick, add some more stock. Enjoy with some Irish Brown Bread or Soda Bread. I learned the recipe from a close friend in Ireland and have modified it slightly with the Penzey's spice. If you are not familiar with them, they have a great web site to order from. I am lucky as they have a store near me in Philly. Enjoy

    That sounds really tasty. Thanks.

    I'll have to see if I can get a dutch oven .... although, I think my Le Creuset will work fine.
