Time 3h45m

Yield 6 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons lard (much preferred) or (ho-hum) mildly flavored olive oil
1/3 cup onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup carrots, finely chopped
3/4 pound veal kidney, cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups beef stock
3 cups mushrooms, quartered
5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Suet pastry (see recipe)
6 oysters (or as many as you want), shucked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper; then in a large deep ovenproof saute pan over high heat, heat lard or oil until hot. Saute beef cubes until browned; add onions and carrots and saute 10 minutes more. Add kidney and continue sauteing another 15 minutes.
  • Stir in flour and bake for 10 minutes, uncovered. Remove from oven and place over medium-low heat. Scraping up whatever sticks to the bottom, add stock, mushrooms and Worcestershire. Simmer and stir occasionally for 45 minutes. Season to taste, cool, transfer to a container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cut off 1/5 of each suet pastry disk and roll the remaining pastry into circles about 10 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick.
  • Line 6 18- to 20-ounce pudding basins or 5-inch ramekins with the pastry, pressing dough evenly around the sides. Fill with steak and kidney mixture. Roll out the reserved pastry and cover each pudding, crimping the edges closed.
  • Here's the weird part: wrap each basin entirely in plastic wrap. (This makes it a steamed pudding rather than a browned pie.) Tie string around the outside (to keep plastic wrap snug) and put puddings on racks in pans of simmering water, covered, for 2 hours, making sure the water stays 2/3 the way up the sides of the basins.
  • Remove the puddings from the water and remove the plastic wrap. Just before serving, cut a small hole in top of each and insert as many oysters as you like. (At Rules they put one oyster inside the pudding and another on the side in its shell.)

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. It was too time-consuming and the results were not worth it.

I found that the pudding was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but other than that it was very good.
