This Steak and Onion Pie with Forgotten Suet Crust combines tender, slow-cooked beef and sweet caramelized onions in a rich, savoury gravy, all topped with a light, fluffy suet crust. Using the Instant Pot, the filling is pressure-cooked in just 35 minutes, giving you the depth of a slow-cooked stew in a fraction of the time. Once transferred to a pie dish, the classic suet crust is spooned over the top and baked until golden and risen. Perfect for a hearty, comforting meal served with mashed potatoes or greens!

Looks delicious.
😋😎
Lots of great recipes I'm taking notes trust me.
What I love about your videos are the small gains I get as a cook. When things don't matter, you're always more than happy to point them out but then there's techniques like using the thin gravy to make the cornflour slurry rather than water that are absolute genius.
I've done a fair few of your recipes now and they're always delicious but the techniques you show go across so many dishes.
Hi Rik looks a delicious dish. I’ve made suet pastry many times over the years. But I’m going to make it the way you have in this dish. As always mate love your presentation super video spot on instruction. Will let you know how the pastry turned out thanks so much 👍👍
Ha! interesting alternative to dumplings! umm.. wonder if could put our version of hungarian goulash in oven with that on top as a final step…
That sounds delicious, but I have no Idea, where I can get suet in germany. Maybe I just try it with butter. Cooked your chinese beef with onions today and had a look, what else I can learn from you. I really like your accent, from which part of the UK do you come? I can understand every word, thats nice, compared to all the mumbling americans, I can only get every third word…
I'm making dumpling and stew tonight. Thanks Rik all the best to you
What a great recipe, thanks for sharing it with us 👍. Definitely trying this in the dutch oven on our next camping trip 😎
Do home made mushy peas please!
❤❤❤Awesome video Rick. Stay Blessed.
Suet crust is one my favourite pastry crusts for my pies that I invariably make , so easy and that lovely gravy!!
I think this is what my mum and us used to call suet pudding. Rik,can this also be made including an egg in the ingredients? What would that turn out like?
Subscribed ya beauty!
Looks simply deliciously divine. Onions and beef with gravy topped with an easy crust, what could be better. You can never have too many onions in anything. Never heard of vegetable suet but going to look for it next time I'm shopping. Lard and olive oil are the only things we use anymore. My mother made pastry with lard that we rendered ourselves. Nothing tastes better. And man oh man were the cracklings a treat for us kids. This is another recipe I'm putting on our menu. Thank you for some of the best recipes ever ❤.
Suet is the most underrated pie topping, unreservedly so, my mam used to make suet topped pies when we were kids and it was banging
‘Fantabulistic’ 😂😂😂😂 Nice one Rick, looks fantastic (this Sunday’s lunch)
Just love your PRESENTATION. ❤
Great recipe mate…guess what I'm having for tea tomorrow. Now, if I recall correctly, my mother would add beef dripping to her suet, but I don't know how much, or when she would add it unfortunately. Needless to say it was always delicious. I do believe she used the same recipe for dumplings. Maybe the beef dripping was used instead of suet, I just don't know.
My absolute favourite school dinner with mash, cabbage and gravy ❤
Im almost licking the screen 😂
My mum made steak & onion pudding & I loved it! Forgotten how lovely it is. Thank you Rik for the memories & I'll definitely be making this!
Mouth watering wonderful idea steek and pie looks super tasty super yummiest
Oh yes, going to my todo list for sure. U nade laugh when u sad miximixi, in finnish miksi(pronounced same as muxi) is why😂
Thank you for the recipe 🌹💕
Yes Rik that is a stunning dinner , I’m going to try this instead of dumplings on top of my stew it looks fantastic , happy Valentine’s Day Rik ❤️Amanda xx
Lovely Rick. I must do this as I haven’t used suet pastry for a good while I last did it with sausage meat and onion. Thanks again xxxx. Maureen a fan
Me mam makes a suet pudding for Sunday dinner flat and crispy on top and fluffy in middle
This looks delicious
Mouthwatering warching this. It will have to wait for winter , i am in summer atvthe moment, its going to the top of the list 😊
Another mouth-watering winner! I also watched your Anglesey Egg video …I'm going have to make that one real soon!
9PM here in the states,,,,belly GROWLIN like mad now,,,,,
I have an off-brand pressure cooker (I won’t say which though it’s fairly popular) that must have a slightly lower sear temperature than yours. So far I haven’t burned anything in it. I do have to do amounts of meat like that in batches though so that it doesn’t end up steaming it while trying to brown it. I don’t mind but others may find it easier to do it in a pan as you did. Either way I end up having something else to wash up when I’m done, in my case a bowl the meat rests in while I’m doing the onions or whatever.
Looks like another great comfort food recipe. I’ll have to go get a hunk of beef tomorrow…
As you’ve said once or twice, a cook should come to know their tools’ strengths and limitations.
Oh yummy lovely a real winter warmer thanks Rik 👍
This mean looks like a million dollars
Good grief ! last time I made a steak and kidney suet pudding was in the late 1970"s = brings back memories 👍
Sheesh, I'm sat here drooling, mate. I can bloody smell it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mouthwatering! I’m setting you the challenge of coming up with a selection of sweet ways of using this easy suet topping. No rush 😂
A local rancher recently formed a collective to market their beef products….including tallow! Can I use tallow for suet???
My mother used to make it like a plum pudding lining the bole with the suet pastry and put in the ingredients and a lid on seal up and boil it in a saspan when done turn upside down and bake it to get a crust. if it didn't fall apart.Nicer again better even tomorrow.
That takes me back to my childhood 😋❤🙏
Is there any left chef
Another good recipe…instant pot on my wish list
Hi Rik great meal as always. In NZ our climate makes the coconut oil go solid like lard, would that be an alternative for the suet crust?
Suet pastry is without doubt the best of all worlds ! Dumplings and pastry crust combined ! .. Although i do like mine a litte darker on top so i get crunch on top and soft fluffy below ! Yup i am fussy begger
