As an Englishman, I am very familiar with steak pies, steak and kidney pies, steak and onion pies, minced beef and potato pies, even cheese and onion pasties. I have NEVER heard of a beef and cheese pie, but these are going straight to the top of my ‘to do’ list.
They are the most popular meat pie in NZ, can get em everywhere. I went to Aussie for a couple weeks in 2017, went into four bakeries total not one steak and cheese.
When I went to school back in the 1950s a pie cart came out on a particular day to the school. The pie was topped with mushy green peas and black (Worcestershire Sauce) of asked for. NO tomato sauce ! BLACK sauce or nothing. The aroma of that black sauce on or in the pie was a pure delight.
Hi Keef from New Zealand. Steak and cheese pies are my favourite. We use flaky pastry for the best pies. I make them often and the delux versions have mushrooms in as well. After a lot of experimenting I discovered that the best pies have the meat cooked and cooled the day before. I use shin beef as it has a lot of taste as well as natural jelly which helps it set. I only use cornflour for thickening. Cut the tasty cheese into cm square chunks in the homemade pies
Made these yesterday and was so proud of myself! They looked just like your video and I made the same noises as you when I had my first bite. Lol. Granted, I think I watched the video over 20 times! Next time, I will add fresh chili peppers with the onions as the other Texan suggested...we like things spicy! Thanks for all your great videos Keef...I’m addicted to your channel and love your no-nonsense approach and sense of humor!
Just some minor changes that I think improve the dish slightly. Cut the onion thinner, thick chunks have a stronger flavour that can sometimes feel strange. Add the black pepper when sautéing the onion and make sure its freshly ground. Add the parsley once its all finished just before the final mix, adding fresh herbs too early removes the flavours. As well as flour, corn starch also works well in the beef mix. mixing a little mozzarella with cheddar makes it more stringy and makes it look really nice.
NEVER apologize for your Aussie accent! Great looking recipe and video. Can't wait to try it. I grew up in Adelaide from ages 5 to 12 then moved back to the states. Lost my Aussie accent damn it. I remember pies like this and sausage rolls. People love when I make sausage rolls, but I want to add a pie to my list of nostalgic cooking. Can't wait to try this. Thank you.
it's funny but i've been living in Sydney for the past 10 years and one of the things I miss from home (NZ) is a good old mince and cheese pie. literally no cafe, bakery, sells them here, this is my experience. I enjoyed watching the video, especially some of the tricks you demonstrated, I can't wait to make some pies!

So, I've just recently discovered this channel and become hooked. This is a great example of a typical pie here, which is good because there's dreadfully few on the internet generally. The tradition of serving a pie in a bowl of pea soup is very specific to Adelaide, capital of South Australia, and is virtually unknown in the rest of the country. It's called a Pie Floater. Traditionally you'd also slather the pie with tomato sauce when you're done, even if it's in a floater.
I’m glad I’ve found this channel! I love the way you make your meat pies! 🥧😃🙌🏼 I’ve made the exact same pies for my family using this recipe & it was a hit! They LOVED IT!! Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽🥰🫶
As an Aussie i can say ive never really seen this type of pie before, though i wouldnt be shocked if its not made by any of the Harry de Wheels places. Im told they make very good mushy peas too
I'm a Kiwi and luv my pies, steak n cheese being my fav. I lived just out of cairns for 13yrs and no-one made a steak n cheese pie. In 2015 we did a 2week road trip and moved the family to Tasmania. From cairns to Melbourne no-one sold a steak and cheese pie. So I can safely say that no-one makes these pies in Australia, and if you do, you got it from us.
Well every bakery in Western Australia iv'e been to has them and has done for the 40+ years iv'e lived here. Cause traveling from Cairns to tassie is all of Australia......... :/
I ate a steak cheese pie in Brisbane yesterday and have eaten regularly in the years before. You need to go to individual bakeries that make their own.
Mince and Cheese Pies are actually more of a NZ favorite. Along with Sausage rolls and Bacon and egg pies. You'll struggle to find a bakery here in Australia that can bake any of these as good as our Kiwi bakeries. Some bakeries here in Brisbane don't even make mince and cheese pies... and some Aussies have never heard of that combination! I couldn't believe it as we grew up on them back home hehehe Kiwis love pies!! :)
Strangely, one of the people who told me this was typically Australian was a Kiwi, the other was Australian. Anyway, not here to argue about origins - it's delicious whoever invented it!
cheese,cheese and bacon,curry and plain pies are all staples in australian bakeries. i can't comment if kiwi's make better ones or not but i can say i've had some in aus that were perfection.
Oh my gosh. I have looked at so many videos today which made me hungry and this one is no exception... These look WONDERFUL. Thanks for sharing. Sandee
That’s most brilliant tip ever seen on here .pastry in tin then pressing down with another tin etc! Pastry wow looks amazing and I will be definitely be following today’s recipe you done .👍🏻💙 thanks for sharing .
Keef I love the way you stack the pie tins and cut the edges. Genius! Always annoyed me trying to press the pastry right into the tins and having to trim the edges. Thanks for this advice!!
Here in south Australia we have a few good old country style bakerys that make cheese pies and they are delishous. Thanks for making a Australian pie mate . Cheers
I live in QLD and when I visited NZ the pies reminded me, and were identical in quality and taste and variety, as South Oz bakeries....especially the country towns.
Keep, Kefir. I don't know if you're messing about with my name because you think it's funny or if autocorrect is doing it...anyway, glad you like my pies!
The Ned Kelly pie is another classic Aussie pie . It is a beef & bacon pie with a whole egg cracked on top and sometimes topped with cheddar cheese. There are many good recipes for them on the net.
Just visited NZ and the pies were discovered after seeing them everywhere and wished we'd purchased more of them. Delish! The tomato sauce is disgustingly too sugary. But perhaps it's what kiwis were raised on. I preferred pies without that sweet stuff. We got 3 diff pies at one grocery store for breakfast. As we drove off gobbling the pies, we were uuhhhing and awwwwhing and slurping, then we tried the mussel meat pie...bad news! It was SO slimy fishy ...old fishy taste we were throwing up on the car rental. Had to roll down windows to get fresh air. These pies was still warmed from oven, so hot (old) fishy mussel pie, I would NOT recommend. EVER. :) All other meat pies: Lamb, Beef are yummy to the tummy!!!
@@michellepernula872 im from nz and prefer my pies without tomatoe sauce but instead with a cup of tea and dont really care if its aus or nz pie still damn good also you must try a hangi pie or watercress and pork pie delishes
Stories with origins of food make it more appealing and you need to use the ingredients from those regions to be authentic. So the comment is kinda rude. These were used along with jerky and crackers for cowboys because the foods don't spoil and transport better.
Yes Keef, the "Pie floater" Pie in pea soup was in Adelaide last I looked but "Pie and Peas"(mushy peas) was all over. The other difference I think is most ozzy pies use puff pastry (on top). Your take on this pie and cheese looks yummy, as does pretty much everything you make. Thanks Keef, keep you and yours safe, Cheers 🥧.
Love your work Keef! These pies look amazing. If there was such a thing as an 'Aussie pie', it would be slightly thinner, served in a paper bag and eaten from the paper bag. It never touches a plate, or cutlery (unless it's a pie floater in Adelaide, of course). Also, a self respecting Adelaidean (or Adelaide bakery) never uses 'mince' in a pie. We've had some slightly marginal mass production pies in the past, but these days the quality of ingredients is very good. We have a particularly outstanding pie maker in Adelaide named 'Vilis' and their pies can even sometimes be found in London. They are exceptional. I don't think it's really possible to propose the idea of an 'Australian pie', since there's so much variation from place to place. Given the vast distance between cities and their rather separate history, this is understandable and makes for quite an interesting mixture of things! 🙂
This is a fascinating variation of some of the other recipes I've seen here on RUclips, and demonstrates why I've found it to always be a good idea to watch multiple videos about a given recipe, before deciding to make it myself. I've never seen the pastry pre-cooking method before. If anything, the pastry is usually left to stand for anywhere between four to eight hours after it has been initially worked. It might be worth testing both, to find out which of the two I prefer. This method would certainly be quicker, which is an advantage.
Pastry pre-cooking - you mean the hot water pastry? It's not pre-cooked (you really wouldn't want to eat it before baking) - melting the lard into the water just saves a lot of time.
Nicely done, Keef. I've done it and it is indeed delicious. I used sharp white cheddar mixed with a bit of Moz. Your mince looks better than mine for sure. I must find a better butcher. Thank you for sharing.
Mince and cheese pies are one of many common types of pies you'll find in Australia and New Zealand, along with a host of others such as plain mince, steak and cheese, egg and bacon, curried chicken, scallop pies, cottage pie, etc. Can't say I've ever seen them served with mushy peas or pea soup though, that very much sounds English. We generally just have them plain or with tomato sauce on top.
Mince Pie with Pea soup has been around for well over 60 years that I am aware of, they are called a Pie Floater, One Mince Pie placed upside down in a bowl of Pea Soup. Know of them in Sydney and in Adelaide. Where I live it is generally a Beef mince, bacon and cheese pie, same basic recipe but initial browning includes the diced Bacon,
I can assure you I’ve been to many bakeries in Australia that sell mince and cheese. We can even buy them in the supermarket. Australia is a bit more regional than NZ with food variety and it does vary from state to state. My wife is a Kiwi and I lived in NZ for 3 years so I’m not talking out my rear haha
Mince meat, bacon and cheese pies, my favourite, for over 25 years, family made but also at times bought from the same local Aussie cake and pie shop that sells a wide variety of different pie fillings. Actually just ask for cheese and bacon, it’s accepted there will be great meat and gravy in it as well.😂. Personally, just my preference, but I never use tomato sauce when I have pies but that’s just because these great cheese and bacon need no other help to be yummy for my taste. On occasions my daughter makes a very similar recipe as yours only additions are Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes bacon, in any case, always a great excuse for an extra visit to her home for lunch on her pie making days.
This is remind me of the Georgie Pie back in the 1990s in here New Zealand. Sadly the company got bank-rub. But the pie was so good. Now they have it at McDonald but it not the same anymore. Thanks for the video.
Does anybody remember the Georgie Pie chain, back in the 1970/80s. Used to regularly visit the Kelston, west Auckland, branch. Best fast food chain I have ever known. From Dublin, Ireland (now).
I can confirm, I am Australian and one of my most fav pies is a steak and cheese pie, its a very common pie choice in any good bakery or cafe here in Australia. Steak and Mushroom would be another fav of mine.
Homemade pies are awesome👍all made from scratch so foolproof anyone can make them. Try using lamb or chicken & vege too it's upto you But this recipe is great basis to start with great techniques & tips to learn. Enjoy the mouthwatering pie with some tomoto ketchup 😁
i prefer steak and cheese. its exactly the same but made with cubed steak instead of mince. Im a baker by trade and we made em back in 86 when they became popular in nz.
Im an aussie who loves a good meat pie, i have em on my work breaks nearly all the time, but never heard of just the beef and cheese pie ahah. I might have to give em a try
Oh finally. You know how much time I wasted being confused at meatless mince pie recipes? Didn't know this was NZ/Aussie specific pie. I just know that I loved it as a kid when I lived in New Zealand. Hot mince meat pie that you can order from home. Amazing.
NZ pies are the best in the world. Winton bakery 30 minutes north of Invercargill to be precise. Steak and cheese pies. They used to do a steak and blue cheese pie which was amazing.
New Zealand pies can’t be beat. The best
I totally agree!
kiwi girl which one? BP ones are ok.
You got the Pav but not the Pie! :)
Actually cobber there are two pies that can't be beat Aussie and Kiwi pies.
@william te whata Oh! Really !
As an Englishman, I am very familiar with steak pies, steak and kidney pies, steak and onion pies, minced beef and potato pies, even cheese and onion pasties. I have NEVER heard of a beef and cheese pie, but these are going straight to the top of my ‘to do’ list.
Steak Stilton? I had the Lidl ones. Absolutely disgusting. Normal steak pies from them are much better.
I've tralleved all over the world and I've still never had a pie that can even compete with NZ bakery made steak and cheese pies.
They are the most popular meat pie in NZ, can get em everywhere.
I went to Aussie for a couple weeks in 2017, went into four bakeries total not one steak and cheese.
Cheese and steak readily availible here in the west, when I make my own i put grated cheese on top of the pie then brown off, tasty as. Cheers
That’s because Australians only eat good pies, not shit ones.
When I went to school back in the 1950s a pie cart came out on a particular day to the school.
The pie was topped with mushy green peas and black (Worcestershire Sauce) of asked for.
NO tomato sauce ! BLACK sauce or nothing. The aroma of that black sauce on or in the pie was a pure delight.

Can you post the recipe pls
Been buying beef mince & cheese pies here in Adelaide for 20 years or more....a true fave.
I don't know what rock you've been living under, but even Coles and Woolies stock these sort of pies and more.
Does chilli and cheese count?

Homemade pies are awesome👍all made from scratch so foolproof anyone can make them. Try using lamb or chicken & vege too it's upto you But this recipe is great basis to start with great techniques & tips to learn. Enjoy the mouthwatering pie with some tomoto ketchup 😁
LOL, I wouldn't claim they're foolproof, not at all. And I wouldn't smother it with ketchup.
@@Keefcooks Its a kiwi thing we love our tomoto ketchup sauce on everything haha. Love from New Zealand ❤
Great pies cheers
John Kirkwood makes the pie dough the same way for his pies
That's because I taught him all he knows!
Love these videos
I'm definetly going to try this NZ pie. Thanks from the States.
Thank you for making this video...It looks delicious.
looks so simple!! i take it there is no fast rule about seasoning..i have to try these pies!!
i prefer steak and cheese. its exactly the same but made with cubed steak instead of mince. Im a baker by trade and we made em back in 86 when they became popular in nz.
Im an aussie who loves a good meat pie, i have em on my work breaks nearly all the time, but never heard of just the beef and cheese pie ahah. I might have to give em a try
Go for it!
Definitely making this tonight... Thanks for the recipe
Oh finally. You know how much time I wasted being confused at meatless mince pie recipes? Didn't know this was NZ/Aussie specific pie. I just know that I loved it as a kid when I lived in New Zealand. Hot mince meat pie that you can order from home. Amazing.
How do I get this delivered to my home? In USA (didn't vote for orange guy!) I want some of that stuff!
Tyler Atchley so you voted for the midget kkk wife of a pervert?
NZ pies are the best in the world. Winton bakery 30 minutes north of Invercargill to be precise. Steak and cheese pies. They used to do a steak and blue cheese pie which was amazing.
