Makes 1 plate pie Pastry
# Heat 1 tablespoon oil in griddle pan, cook steaks but keep underdone, take out and keep warm. # Put in chopped shallots and cook slowly, do not colour. # Add whiskey and flambé. # Extinguish by adding white wine and reduce by a third. # Add chicken stock and reduce by half. # Add double cream and reduce. # Take from the heat, put diced cheese into sauce and allow to melt. # Meanwhile cut potatoes into quarters diced. # Fry in 1 tablespoon oil and 1oz butter until cooked and golden brown, when cooked, remove most of fat, and rubbed thyme and season. # At the same time melt 1oz butter. # Sweat crushed garlic, add green beans and reheat, season. # Serve the steaks over the green beans. # Pour the sauce over the steaks and potatoes.
# Pre-heat oven 150°C/gas mark 2. Place all the ingredients except the shin steaks, tomato purée and flour into a container large enough to hold everything. Mix together then add the shin steaks, making sure the liquid just covers the steaks. Cover and leave for a couple of hours to marinate. # In the meantime make your shin stock. Brown the trimmings with a little oil in a hot pan then tip into a large stockpot with a few onions, carrots and celery sticks. Cover with water and simmer for a couple of hours before straining. Alternatively you can use ready-made stock. # Remove the steaks from the marinade, pat dry with kitchen paper and dust with a little four. Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the steaks on all sides, seasoning generously with freshly ground black pepper and a little sea salt. # Transfer the steaks to a casserole; add the marinade liquid, tomato purée and enough beef stock to cover the steaks completely. Cover with a lid or foil and cook gently in the oven for 2 hours. The meat should be meltingly tender when pushed gently with a fork. # Meanwhile make the potatoes. Line an ovenproof dish with baking parchment then select the nicest large slices of potato for the top and set aside. Soak the porcini mushrooms in warm water, drain through a fine sieve and reserve the stock. Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly in cold water several times. # Fry the bacon in a little butter until crisp and brown then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. In the same pan fry the mushrooms, onion and garlic in a little more butter then drain as before. # Crush the remaining potatoes together with the double cream and a little mushroom stock, seasoning generously. Fold in the onion, mushrooms, bacon and parsley and line the baking dish with the mixture. Arrange reserved potato slices nearly across the top, brush with butter and bake for 40 minutes at 160°C/gas mark 21/2, or until the top is crisp and golden. # Remove the steaks carefully from the casserole and set aside on a warm plate covered with foil. Pour the cooking liquid into a pan, straining and skimming off any grease. Boil rapidly until reduced down to a good sauce consistency and you are now ready to plate up.

Red Onion Marmalade: # Fry the onions in a frying pan over a fierce heat until they start to soften. # Turn the heat down slightly and add the red wine vinegar, red wine, sugar and thyme. # Continue to boil until the onions have a rich sheen and are deep red in colour, there should only be a small amount of liquid left. # Remove from the heat and taste. At this stage, depending upon the size of the onions you may need to add a little more sugar or vinegar, if so return to the stove. # Once you are happy with the flavour, season with a little salt and pepper and put to one side. # Remember, any left over marmalade can be stored for up to a week if kept in the fridge in an airtight container (it's very nice on a ham sandwich!) Chips: # Blanch in a deep fat fryer at approximately 140°C until soft, then remove from the fryer and allow to drain and cool. # When you are ready, re-heat the fryer to 180°C and return the chips until golden brown. Onion Rings: # Mix the self-raising flour with enough Black Sheep Ale to form a thick batter consistency and add a pinch of salt. # Sprinkle the rings of onion with flour to dust them before putting them into the beer batter. # Then plunge the onion rings into the deep fat fryer and cook until golden and crispy. Burger: # Place all of the burger ingredients into a bowl and mix together using a large spoon. # Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. # Form four burgers from the mixture. # Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. # Place the burgers in the pan and cook on both sides for approximately 2 minutes on each side over a moderate heat until golden brown. # Once brown on both sides place in the oven at 180°C for 6 minutes. # Cook the bacon under a grill until cooked but not crispy. # Melt the Wensleydale cheese on top of the burger under the grill. To Assemble: Tip: This dish looks great on a rectangular plate. # Assemble the burger in the bun with the Wensleydale bacon on top of the melted cheese, then place this at one end of the plate. # At the other end of the plate, stack the chips into a Jenga-like tower, then stack the onion rings next to them. # Place some mixed salad leaves in a ramekin in the middle of the plate with a small amount of the red onion marmalade on top.
# Heat a large casserole pan and add a little oil. Flour the pieces of steak in seasoned flour and then brown them in the casserole pan. Remove from pan once browned. # Add the sliced carrots and onion to the pan and allow to sweat for a few minutes until the onion is soft. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any sticky bits on the bottom of the pan. # Return the browned meat, season add the stock, Soy & Worcester sauce. Bring the pan to the boil, cover and put in an oven set at 180ºC for 30 minutes then reduce the temperature to 150ºC, and leave to cook for another hour or so until the meat is tender. # To make the pastry, simply combine the flour, suet and salt with a little water in a bowl, until you have workable dough. On a floured surface roll this out into a nice big disk that will fit over the stew (not too thin). # Place the pastry crust on top of the stew in the casserole pot, return to a hot oven (200ºC) for 15 minutes, or until golden and the gravy starts to bubble through. # Delicious served with a baked jacket potato and some seasonal vegetables.
