PUB STYLE PEPPERED STILTON STEAKS WITH CHARRED ONIONS AND CHIPS
Thick rump or Sirloin steaks, encrusted with cracked black peppercorns, pan-fried to collect all the juices, served with a Stilton cheese & toasted walnut topping, with charred fried onions on the side............phew........AND chips (French fries)!!! Interested?! This is a dish I have eaten countless times in numerous local Pubs in the North of England - it has to be my favourite way to eat steak! You don't need anything else, apart from a mixed side salad maybe AND a pint of "real" ale to wash it down with! I have recreated this dish at home - and once you have peeled and sliced you onions and sorted out your Stilton cheese and chips, it's a doddle! I often use "oven" chips, or my Dad's Recipe #193370 which are great with this meal. Try to choose locally produced beef for your steak, and preferably organic. Just for interest, Sirloin steak was named, so the legend says, by King Henry VIII, who having enjoyed it so much, "knighted" the loin of beef on the spot, so loin of beef became SIRloin!!

Steps:
- Crumble the Stilton cheese into a mixing bowl and add the softened butter and the toasted walnut pieces, mash together well. Cover & set to one side - in a cool place.
- Press the cracked peppercorns into both sides of the steaks, ensuring they adhere well. Cover and leave to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Take 1 ounce of butter from the 2 ounces of butter, and heat it up over a very high heat in a sturdy frying pan/skillet. Add the onion rings and stir well - allow them to char at the edges before turning down the heat and cooking over a slow heat for about 10 minutes more. Set to one side.
- 5 minutes before you want to start cooking your steaks, start to fry your chips/French fries - unless you are oven baking them, in which case you need them to be in the oven at least 45 minutes before you want to serve the steaks.
- Heat up the remaining 1 ounce of butter in a large sturdy frying pan/skillet and as soon as the butter starts to smoke but NOT burn, add you steaks.
- (Here is a rough cooking chart for you: For steaks about 1" thick, Rare is 3 minutes each side; Medium is 5 minutes each side and Well Done is 7 minutes each side - depending in the thickness of your steaks!).
- As soon as you have cooked your first side, turn the steak over and crumble half of the Stilton and walnut mixture over the top of each steak, continue to cook until the steaks are cooked to your liking.
- At the same time that you crumbled the Stilton mixture over the top, add the pre-fried onions and scatter them around in the frying pan to finish cooking them.
- Serve the Stilton and Pepper Steaks immediately with the charred onions and Chips/French Fries.

BRITISH OPEN TOP STEAK, ALE AND STILTON PUB STYLE PIES
Delicious individual pies which are perfect for supper, lunch or a picnic. These contain steak & onions cooked in good quality ale with a Stilton cheese & mashed potato topping, instead of the usual pastry. My own invention which is requested regularly now; this recipe was born out of left over mashed potato, stewed steak in ale and the dried up end pieces of some Stilton cheese! Here I have given instructions for my basic steak in ale casserole, but have assumed that you will know how to make mashed potatoes - I have also suggested frozen shortcrust pastry for ease! Serve these pies with chips, more mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables....and don't forget the pint of ale to accompany them! "British Open Top" is a play on words, based on the British Open Top Mini car I used to have when I was a student....NO pastry tops here you see!!

Steps:
- Peel and chop the onions. Cut up the braising steak into small cubes.
- Heat some oil in a large and deep saucepan. Add the onions and sauté gently for about five minutes until soft.
- Add the meat and cook to seal.
- Add the flour and stir in to meat juices.
- Continue to cook to cook out the flour, adding the beer gradually to prevent sticking to the pan until all the beer has been added.
- Add beef stock cubes, salt and pepper to taste and stir until dissolved.
- Add water to thin down the gravy. The amount will vary according to how much juice has come out of the meat so add gradually until the right consistency is achieved.
- Add the English mustard and mix well.
- Once boiling reduce the heat, cover and simmer very gently for at least two hours.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Pre-heat oven to 210C/425°F.
- Roll out the ready made shortcrust pastry and line 4 individual pie moulds with it - I used a Yorkshire pudding tin - the diameter of the moulds in the tin was 5" - or use individual aluminium pie containers.
- Line each pastry round with greaseproof paper and bake blind for about 5 - 10 minutes; using baking beans or heavy beans to keep the pastry flat.
- Remove the greaseproof paper and beans; divide the steak in ale mixture between the 4 pies.
- Mix the Stilton cheese into the ready-made and well seasoned mashed potato and pile on top of the steak and pastry bases.
- Place a knob of butter on top of each mashed potato topping and bake in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and the potato and Stilton cheese topping is golden brown & bubbling.
- Serve with extra ale gravy if desired and seasonal vegetables - OR allow to cool, wrap and take on a picnic!
- You can prepare and part cook your Steak and Ale Pie on the one day and then complete the cooking on the following day which will allow the flavours to come out even more.
- Suggested Ales: Theakson's Old Peculiar; Old Speckled Hen; Hobgoblin Strong Dark Ale; Hooky Dark.

Steps:
- Rub steaks down with a pinch or two of salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mince 1 clove of garlic and set aside. Cut tops off 2 remaining cloves and rub with olive oil. Wrap in foil.
- Roast garlic in the preheated oven until cloves are tender and browned, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Whisk pale ale, stout, Worcestershire, hoisin, and brown sugar together in a bowl; set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low, add shallot, and cook until it starts to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the reserved minced garlic and the roasted garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and flour; stir it all up to make a roux and cook for 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium and slowly whisk in the beer mixture, letting it thicken each time before adding more. Once it is all incorporated, let gravy simmer and reduce for 10 minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
- Melt clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Crank heat up to medium-high and sear for a maximum of 1 minute per side. Remove steaks to a plate and tent with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect medium-rare steak, cook it for 2-3 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak.
- For a thicker steak, cook for an additional minute or two per side.
- If you prefer your steak more well-done, cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes per side.
- To prevent the steak from overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Make sure to rest the steak for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- To keep the steak warm while it rests, cover it with foil.
- To achieve crispy and golden-brown chips, use a combination of vegetable oil and beef dripping.
- Make sure the chips are cooked in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
- Season the chips with salt and pepper to taste.
- To elevate the flavor of the charred onions, use a variety of onions, such as red, yellow, and white.
- Make sure to caramelize the onions slowly over medium heat to bring out their natural sweetness.
- To add a touch of smokiness to the onions, cook them in a cast-iron skillet.
