My Grandmothers Beef Pie was made in a deeper cast iron pan and she always had pie dough on the bottom too. She was born in the late 1800s and told me that for the 1st half of her life the two things she usually had were beef and flour... best biscuits on the planet. She said you have to cook the bottom crust some beforehand so that it didn't get soggy. With double the filling and a bottom crust, the proportion of filling to crust stays the same which is important. Come to think of it she used mushrooms, garlic, sage, and would sub bourbon for beer too. Once in a while, she'd put about an inch of cheese grits on the bottom crust after cooking it and then cover it with the beef filling. I preferred her using bourbon to beer... so it left one more for me. I love and miss you, Grandma.

That beef looks effing delicious. I’m from the highlands and have a small croft with some shorthorn beef cows. They’re raised free range - in the hills during spring, summer and autumn and then on our land where they get to roam the area and come into a big barn to chill when they feel like it. They’re fed sileage from our fields and are topped up with cattle nuts and occasional bottle feeding for the smaller calves if they’re a twin or the mum isn’t producing a lot of milk….one of them from last November is still being bottle fed but he was very small and his mum has often produced a small baby. Anyway, for all the work that goes into raising cows, (and ours are all named, are treated like pets and love being cuddled and petted like dogs), and all the vet expenses, fertiliser for the grass, grass seed, bale wrap for the sileage and the cost of buying equipment when stuff goes tits-up….every bloody year….we get very little money for them when they go to market in Dingwall. I can understand why some full time farmers are struggling when they get between one and two pounds a kilo and then the supermarkets and butchers sell it for a fortune. Anyway, it’s nice to see Marco PW cook beef as he always seems to treat it well…sounds stupid, but that’s just me.
It's because this isn't the type of pie for walking around town with, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. Anyway, just imagine a big chunk of steak falling on the road as you're about to sink your teeth into it and everyone laughing.
@sddas asdasd wrong. You blind bake the base. stops it getting soggy. And if you're filling isn't runny, and generally shit, you'll stll have bosting pastry on the bottom. Much better than this lie pie. Pies have a base. Lies don't.
People give him shit for the endorsing of the stock pots, but i have to say, if there were anything to buy premade like that its stock. Most people dont make their own stock and will never make their own stock.
+YEE Yep and it's mandatory that it takes time too. You can't cut corners with it or else the flavor won't be good. It's a real dilemma when you don't have time to make them so I have to agree with +GussieBabes that the stock pots are really helpful.
It's enough of a hassle for most people not to do it. When you consider that you can buy pretty good stocks, the effort isn't really worth it for most people.
You can buy good stocks? Where? The shit at the market is yellow or brown water. There's zero collagen in them. I tested this. I bought organic chicken stock, reduced it by almost half and refridge'd over night. No thickening. It's piss water.
“If you don’t put the right things in at the beginning you won’t get the desired results at the end” that’s cleared a lot up for me. I wanted a steak and ale pie but kept getting it wrong. Turns out I was putting chicken and mushroom in at the start.
Made it first time, great but didn’t role the pastry thin enough, still great .. Second time thinner pastry and left in the fridge for 24 hours before adding the pastry.. absolutely fabulous..
I am a simple man, Just like Marco, I see a video of his, And I like it. I see a recipe of his, I throw in a Knorr stock pot. It really is that simple.
Honestly, this looks like a great recipe for pot roast. Cut your chuck roast into chunks like that and brown. Caramelize your onions. Deglaze with the beer and reduce. Add the stock. Into the oven to braise until done.
Back in the day, if you were a young sous-chef understudying with Marco and suggested putting a bouillon cube in the sauce, he would probably throw a butcher knife at you.
Absolutely briilliant Chef. The man has paid his dues, and just wants to cook like a home chef these days - but you can still see that brilliant 3 Michelin Star Chef in there. I never like to compare him to anyone else, including his protégé Gordon Ramsay - because he truly is in a class of his own.
takes a lot of strong will and character to get where he went, but it takes so much more of that to let go of it and just walk away from it all. i guess hes freed from all ego and is at peace with himself.
I realized something .. People gave butthurt hate comment everywhere regarding the use of factorymade stockpot not homemade ... But at the end of the day, they still use factorymade ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, spice blend, flour ... Make them yourself then!! .. Its called getting a life by making things easier and less time consuming ... If u cant have a life, then dont impose it on others ...
If you can obtain the bones necessary to make stock, you are lucky. My local butcher doesn't sell the bones for beef stock, only pork stock. It's probably something to do with the BSE incidents of the past.
@@thedukeofnuts they do have the bones because they are cut off at the butchers in general. It's just that nobody really buys bones so they don't sell em. Talk to your local butcher and he might give you some. Best is veal for brown stock
I like his recipe - not thought about putting big chunks of beef in there before. He definitely is addressing the everyday cook at home and its good he continuously drops in globs of interesting info. Not sure about his love of the stockpot though, but I guess that's what you have to do when you accept sponsorship.
It's his guilt. He knows he can't face it in good conscience, but then again he's gotta do what he gotta do to get that dough (and become a meme while at it).
If it weren't for Marco and his knorr stock pots, I'd still be eating beans on toast, which I still like, and crisp sandwiches...which I never did, but they were the only two things I knew how to cook.
Can't knock crisp butties, you need to butter the bread and preferably use walkers salt n vinegar. I lived off that shit for dinner in primary school in the early 80's. Took my own knife, butter, bread n crisps. Assembled them at the dining table. 😂
In my opinion, the best statement was not to be afraid about getting your pan hot. He is so correct. Which I learnt by cooking something on (what I considered) a too high heat. The food was better for it.

I hate it when a meatpie/pot pie doesn't have pastry on the bottom as well.
Same here.
Exactly. Pie, my arse. Steak & Onions in a pot with a pastry topping

And that your choice
I won’t lie. As a chef these little stocks are great for at home use. A quick flavour add on at any time.
OK Marco 👍🏻
Your choice after all
People give him shit for the endorsing of the stock pots, but i have to say, if there were anything to buy premade like that its stock. Most people dont make their own stock and will never make their own stock.

Doesn't take much or long.

“If you don’t put the right things in at the beginning you won’t get the desired results at the end” that’s cleared a lot up for me. I wanted a steak and ale pie but kept getting it wrong. Turns out I was putting chicken and mushroom in at the start.
With the right type of mushrooms, I'm positive a steak and ale pie will manifest itself.
But it was your choice
A common mistake
Made it first time, great but didn’t role the pastry thin enough, still great .. Second time thinner pastry and left in the fridge for 24 hours before adding the pastry.. absolutely fabulous..
Marco's pastry looks fabulous, the meat does too. He makes cutting the onion look so easy - and he comes across as a really nice bloke.
