Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute store-bought puff pastry for the book's "Rough puff pastry" specified in this recipe..

    Great flavor. I thought this may be difficult to serve from a large pie dish, so I made the filling as directed, but transferred into four individual containers instead of a pie dish. That worked well, but I may do five servings next time as these were rather large. The only other change I’d make next time is low sodium beef stock. The filling was quite salty from the bacon already. I used sirloin steaks that I salted 24 hours in advance and they were very tender after braising.

    The filling was tasty, and the flavours good. However there was too much of a gap between the pie filling and the top crust.
