Needed some #lockdown takeaways today like a storebought pepper steak pie! It even messed all over the place like a typical petrol station shop pie ?? I used bought pastry (Pastry Delights brand)
Pepper steak:
Saute one onion finely chopped in 3tblsp ghee with a small cinnamon stick and 1/2 tsp crushed ginger.
Add 1kg finely cubed steak.
3tblsp vinegar
1tsp crushed green Chilli
3 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
Add 1/2 cup water
Cook till steak is soft and tender (if you have a pressure cooker then definitely use it!) Once it’s done, add 1/4 cup garlic sauce, 250ml fresh cream. Mix in well and then slowly sift in 2 level tsp flour while stirring. Let it thicken a bit, taste for salt and pepper (it NEEDS to be peppery) then it’s done!
The mixture needs to be slightly saucy.
Can add small cooked cubed potatoes but I didn’t because MK didn’t want any.

Let it cool completely before assembling your pie.

Enjoy!
