  • Cut the brisket into chunks,place in a casserole dish, cover with gravy, slice potatoes place on top of meat, dot with butter, place in oven til potatoes go crispy.

    Hi dotstar,

    Is there enough beef to make it into a pie? You could either chop a couple of the potatoes up and add them to the pie filling or reheat them to go with it.

    This is what I do:

    Left over beef chopped
    Half an onion
    4 mushrooms
    1 small potato
    any leftover veg and gravy or 1 beef stock cube and whatever veg you have.
    Black pepper
    Bay leaf
    Frozen (shop bought) puff pastry


    Fry the chopped onion, mushrooms in a little oil, then add the chopped potato and beef. Then throw in any leftover veg and gravy a bay leaf and black pepper and simmer until the meat is tender and the veg cooked. When you’re ready to make the pie, remove the bay leaf and thicken the juices with a teaspoon of corn flour mixed in cold water.

    Roll out the pastry; add filling, brush the pastry with some milk or beaten egg and decorate if you have time. Pop into the oven at 200 degrees until the pastry is risen and golden.

    Yorkie wrap & rolls, make some flat as possible yorkshires (very little batter) then fill with slices of beef, spuds & gravy, wrap like a tortilla....mmmmm

    You can of course just freeze them all to use later ;)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
