Bloody hell.. you’ve got my guts rumbling mate !! I live up north between Durham and Newcastle.. and we love grub like this up our way, especially with plenty of thick gravy onboard. One thing I like about you is you know what’s good for you when it comes to grub.. and I always thought that the further you went down the country the less gravy you put on the plate, but you definitely proved that theory wrong. I know what I’m cooking midweek.. I’ve got a couple of topside joints in the freezer. Cheers Andy👍
No worries mate, I brought up on gravy, thick homemade Yorkshire pudding, thick beef gravy, home cooked stews you name it was there, love my grub proper British cooking 👍🏻
@@fatandy Aye you’re definitely a dab hand in the kitchen and I subscribed after I watched a few of your videos because you seem to have some really good ideas and helpful tips when it comes to feeding the family. That pie you made looked out of this world though.. I reckon it’s just the job to warm you up during winter, it’s proper British food at it’s best 👍
Thanks mate really appreciate it, just do my best, learnt it of my Nan, and also my mum who was a cook 👍🏻 spread the word about my channel let’s put some good grub on the table 👍🏻 thanks
If you were female, cooking like that I’d have to ask you to marry me. 🥰 I’ve just subscribed to your channel and that looks banging! That’s called “proper grub”. You’re a man after my own heart. Jaysis I’ll have to give this a go. Well done buddy. 👍
Good Afternoon Andy , what an excellent looking pie - that suet top looks amazing and the filling superb ! just the job for these cold and miserable days ! have a great afternoon mate :-)
Just attempted to make this for my family. I followed it step by step and now my whole family are in A&E with suspected food poisoning due to raw suet consumption. Thanks for the nearly wiping out my lineage!!!
I'm sure it was good Andy but try this, I'll guarantee it'll improve it by at least 50%, throw your meat into a big bowl with some flour, toss the meat in the flour until it's coated in a fairly fine but seeable layer, then in small batches fry it for just a few min on all sides to give it a good browning, you can do this on high and not worrie about it being cooked through because your going to stew it anyway, like I say do it in small batches, it's a little bit of a mess around but it'll be worth it, once it's all browned, carry on with your regular recipe. It'll give you a deeper richer flavor and help your gravy thicken a bit, might even save you an oxo cube
@@fatandy no worries mate, if you ever wanted to go a little adventurous you could always fry your onions too, it dose tend to sweeten them a bit, not too much unless you buy what they call sweet onions but the onion trick is personal preference
@@fatandy ido feel more people should try and cook at home ,the art of home cooking food has gone nearly.when my husband was also ve I cooked everydày but even I'm slack now but I'm going to havea go at your pie
@@julianash4663 I love home cooked food, was brought up on it as a child traditional English food, never really tried foreign food until I was about 16, it never really appealed to me, but now I love it all the different dishes from around the world, but yes definitely if you can cook from home then results are well worth it 👍🏻
@Thefatfoodiemcr I have used corn flour before, but sometimes I find it better to use gravy granules as long as you don’t add salt to the pot when cooking 👍🏻
Gonna do this but with beef shin. I got a 6kg beef shin ordered for xmas dinner and theres only 3 of us so il be needing something to do with a truck load of beef after xmas day lol
Sometimes I do, but honestly you didn’t need to with this, the juices and everything just everything just came together, it was insane, I never bother browning it when I do a stew, just let everything cook in together in the pot 👍🏻
It doesn't actually seal anything in. After searing a steak, say, blood and other fluids still escape. It creates the Maillard Reaction, where sugars and other compounds caramelise on the surface and give it the colour and extra flavour.
Mate, that was a masterclass masterpiece🏆🎉👏! Can't fault it, wouldn't change a thing🤷♂️. Food that hugs you, dries your tears, wraps you in a tog 14 duck down duvet, kisses you on the forehead and says "there there, mummy loves you"🤗!. Silverside's one of our all time fav cuts👍. I'm going to make this at the weekend as a trial run for Christmas dinner 🍽️. Why not?, it's got sprouts...them's IS Christmas 🎄!. £2•18 a pop? Bargain, and saves £'s to spend on 🍷🍸🍹🍺🍾🥃😉! Thanks Andy and, yes, I DO like me sprouts👍
Thought you would like that, it would serve 8 people and they would be good portions like the one on my plate, it was blinding, couldn’t believe how the lid went on, thought I would have to trim it, yeah did use 2 packs of Atora but wanted a really thick topping, if you want you can make a smaller one, but I knew the rest of the family would want a lump of it 😂👍🏻
@@fatandyYes, I was impressed with the eyeballing of the lid mate. Must have a good eye from the work you do? Nope, I'll make it exactly like yours for me and the missus, then portion up and freeze the rest, mate👍 Good thing for Chrimbo is that you could make it the day before, and bake on the day🎄. Just have to careful with oven temp/time 'cos it'll need longer from cold🤔. Might try that, too. Make on Saturday and bake on Sunday?
@JonPaul1953 it was so good, yeah just keep an eye on it in the oven, but yeah that was banging, I think the bit of beef weighed about 1.1kg or something like that 👍🏻
I have no idea on the calories to be honest and I don’t really care, my motto is if you are going to make a pie then go for it don’t scrimp, that pure comfort food, just like my Nan use to make 👍🏻
Absolutely awesome 👍🏻
Thanks
Andy, you’ve got me salivating😘 that looks absolutely fantastic 👍👊
Thanks
Heaven on a fork Andy. Reminds me of your beef pudding. Remember that video?
That was was nice 👍🏻
Andy that looked just WOW. Heaven on a plate as you said.Well done.

Delicious food Andy, love suet crust pastry, winner all the way 😋👏🏽
@@santhompson6738 thanks
My mum used to make a stew and put a suet crust top on it it was as you say heaven.
Soo good 👍🏻
Hi Andy...oh my word,now thats what i call a pie...youve done yourself proud there andy... Fantastic 🎉🎉. Ange xx
Thanks
Brilliant stuff Andy something I'd make better than shop bought pies the suet crust is really good on top of there
Thanks

looks great andy thanks for sharing mate. When you doing a chinese

You should audition for master chef Andy. Lovleh 😂
I ain’t that good 😂👍🏻
Ooohhh Mmmm looks great that could feed 6 easy possibly 8 say what £20 all in £2.50 a head just settled Boxing day menu Cheers big boy
Hope you enjoy it, I did 😂👍🏻
Looked absolutely gorgeous can you make us one please 😊 lol lol
It was good, follow my recipe 👍🏻
yummy
👍🏻
Looks amazing!
Thanks
I would rather that then turkey anyday
Definitely 👍🏻
That looks so tasty, what did you put in the gravy to make so thick?
Probably corn flour buddy
Gravy granules 👍🏻
Gravy granules it’s the best
@@fatandyI seen buddy ALDI'S brand .but for you may of added cornflour for extra thickness
@Thefatfoodiemcr I have used corn flour before, but sometimes I find it better to use gravy granules as long as you don’t add salt to the pot when cooking 👍🏻
Andy, who's the better cook, you or the wife?
I’m not getting into this one, she might read the comments 😂😂👍🏻
A smart man you are Andy, happy wife happy life @@fatandy
@@OrbitalTrails 😂😂👍🏻
Have you ever tried it with a layer of dumpling on the bottom as well?
I think about it
Gonna do this but with beef shin. I got a 6kg beef shin ordered for xmas dinner and theres only 3 of us so il be needing something to do with a truck load of beef after xmas day lol
Hope you enjoy it have a great Christmas 👍🏻
Concrete gravy 😂😂
It was soo good, thicker the better 👍🏻
You should always brown the meat 1st to seal in the flavour.
Sometimes I do, but honestly you didn’t need to with this, the juices and everything just everything just came together, it was insane, I never bother browning it when I do a stew, just let everything cook in together in the pot 👍🏻
It doesn't actually seal anything in. After searing a steak, say, blood and other fluids still escape. It creates the Maillard Reaction, where sugars and other compounds caramelise on the surface and give it the colour and extra flavour.
@@fatandy Yep, I agree Andy. Searing and sealing meat is a very Western thing. Go to North Africa and India etc and the meat just goes straight in.
@@JonPaul1953 best way most of the time 👍🏻
@@fatandy Yup. And if your stew or whatever ain't dark enough, a couple of drops of gravy browning sorts it mate👍 Keep it simple keep it real ☝️
Mate, that was a masterclass masterpiece🏆🎉👏! Can't fault it, wouldn't change a thing🤷♂️.

Im curious how many calories that pie has, 2 packs of suet is abit riduculous on 1 pie.
