Steak and kidney in the SC?

ageandjo

I have some steak pieces that should have been used today but there is one me here tonight so I havent bothered cooking it, I bought some lambs kidneys today and was thinking of chopping up idneys and steak up and putting it in the SC, any ideas on what else I can put with it? also shall I cook it tonight overnight or will it the steak be ok til tomorrow?

Mushrooms would be nice with it, and maybe some dumplings if you had the stuff to make them. You might as well cook it overnight - you'll be more inclined to use it tomorrow then. If you've got any puff pastry lying around you could make a lovely pie once it's cooked, otherwise just use it as a stew.

Hi ageandjo,

I would cook it overnight so that you'll definitely use it tomorrow.

I'd toss the meat in some flour seasoned with black pepper and mustard powder. Then add some stock, onion, thyme, a bayleaf if you have one and if you're feeling decadent a splash of red wine.

Like tawnyowls suggested, it would be lovely in a pie, served with something like baby potatoes and brocolli. If you would prefer it to be more of a casserole you could add some vegetables like carrots and parsnips to the slow cooker.

Guiness would work really well, but you'll probably only need one of the cans. You can always drink the other one.

Yes - it's great with guinness - and even better if you have lee and perrins as well - the guinness can make it a bit bitter - I normally add a tspn or so of sugar.you may need to reduce/ thicken the gravy after the meat has cooked. Oh and a bay leaf

cross posted - i'll second that pink!

ageandjo

I don't have any lee and perrins or a bay leaf!
any substitutes?

jennybb

it'll be fine - but try it with l n p another time - it really makes a difference - it'll be yummy all the same

Ok am I thinking right that I can cook it in the SC tonight all night then turn off in the morning then just re-heat tomorrow evening?
