Steak and Onion Steamed Pudding

this is definitely a recipe for a weekend or holiday when you’ve got time on your side, but trust us it’s worth it as the results will likely be remembered for a lifetime.

Steak pudding is one of the great foods from yesteryear and is a real British culinary tradition that we think should be more in favour than it currently is. Yes it is pretty calorific, but nothing evokes comfort eating more than a traditional steamed steak pudding. Lot’s of us will have cherished memories of meals such as this round our grandparents tables, and by embracing such foods as your own you can carry on a great food tradition with your own family. Making a suet crust is far easier than you think, and basically if you can make dumplings, you can make suet pastry.

The steak filling will take a good few hours to reach perfection, and the pudding itself needs steaming for a further two hours, so this is definitely a recipe for a weekend or holiday when you’ve got time on your side, but trust us it’s worth it as the results will likely be remembered for a lifetime. We have used IPA instead of a traditional ale, as it’s rounded flavour cuts through the richness, but any ale or beer you have will do the job just fine.
