I'm making a jamie oliver beef stew, which I intend to use as a pie filing. Its been in the oven for 2 hours of its 3 hours. However, just been in to check it and have noticed that there is not much liquid left in it. I've turned the oven down a bit to 150 from 180, but am still concerned its going to burn or dry out completely. Its starting to look quite dark as it is... Advise please, what should I do? And how could this happen? I've followed his blummin recipe to the T...

I would add more liquid, quickly!
You don't have to put all the liquid in the pie, so it won't matter if you have too much in the pan.0 -
Done! I followed your advice, so thanks for posting! It looked better immediately after I tipped some boiling water into it and stirred it around, no damage done I dont think... although it was starting to catch a little. I snuck a quick taste of the beef too and it seemed fine, and also had that falling apart quality to it. Lovely.SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair.

Just eaten some of it as a stew. Interestingly the beef was not as nice as it was earlier when I sampled it. It seemed to have dried out a bit. Theres a learning experience, longer cooking does not seem to make beef tenderer!SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?"

Hi,
Don't know if this is of any use for next time but i make meat pie from scratch. My boys are the biggest food critics in the universe and they ate it! I only used stewing steak, as it's cheap!, and cooked it in the pressure cooker with only a stock cube. Was a bit concerned that it didn't look too appetising when cooked but took off some excess stock and thickened what remained with some bisto powder to make a thick gravy. Resulted in a truly tasty pie. 1kg made two huge pies that each fed six well along with new pots, veg and lovely gravy made from the drained off stock.
