This is how I do it:
Get 2 pounds lean steak
1 beef kidney
1 small onion.
Cut the steak and kidney into two inch pieces. Flour them. Add pepper
and salt to taste. Line a deep pie dish with rich pie crust after
having buttered dish. Put inverted egg cup in center. Fill with meat
and finely chopped onion. Add water almost to top of dish. Roll pastry
half inch thick and cover all. Make several small holes in pastry to
permit steam to escape. Bake three hours in moderate oven. EAT.
EDITOR’S NOTE:—Steak and kidney pie is a favorite with many
beside the great film comedian. Interesting variations of
Mr. Chaplin’s recipe are:
_Lamb kidney instead of the beef kidney._
_Top crust only._
_Fry the meat chunks before putting them into the pie._
