What To Do With A Can Of Stewing Steak?

pixie1

After reading so much great advice here I was inspired to clean out my cupboards and work out exactly what I had and what needed to do used first.

Ive got a large can of princess stewed steak in gravy that needs to be used quickly. I brought this when I thought you could eat it whilst on the atkins diet :rolleyes:

Anyway, the only thing i can think of cooking with it is a pie but Im sure you guys can think of some other things to make?

many thanks

You could put in the bottom of a caserol dish and cover with mash potato like a shepards pie.

Thanks Shygirl, for some reason whilst Ive been thinking of pie ideas Ive only thought of ones with pastry which ive never cooked with so your idea is great

Try putting layers of the steak, then sliced onions, then thinly sliced poatoes, then chopped tomatoes from a tin in a casserole dish. Layer it up (leave potatoes on the top) and stick it in the oven on a low heat for 40mins - 1 hour. If the juice from the tinned tomatoes doesn't fill up to the top layer, stick some water or stock in. As long as the potatoes are thinnly sliced they should cook and it's a great stew. It also makes the meat go a long way by putting all the other things in!

What about mixing with some boiled potatoes and gravey then topping with a suet pastry crust. Quick, easy, filling and cheap!

We have tinned stewing steak over packets of the golden vegetable rice from supermarkets. I slow cook an onion ,some mushrooms and peppers in a pan until soft then add tinned steak ,a stock cube and half mug water .Then gently heat and pour over rice .Its yummy!!
