Notes

Substitute veal or beef kidney with lamb, if you prefer.

  • To season and coat the meat, place kidney, meat, flour, salt and pepper into a plastic bag, close and shake a few times. The meat will be coated and seasoned to perfection.
  • Pour the remaining gravy into a sauce bowl.
  • Make individual steak, Guiness and kidney pies with the same filling but double the pastry and cut a pie bottom and a top.

If you don't have it, substitute Guinness with your favorite stout, or your favorite beer.
