  I did this for a dinner party and it was delicious. Used Black Sheep ale and it was perfect.

  Loved this recipe! Steak and Ale Pie is my all time favourite food, and although I've tried many times to make a decent one at home, they've always been disasters, This recipe was easy to follow, and turned out lovely. I missed out the chilli and pepper, as they're not to our taste, but the pie tasted gorgeous without them. I think next time I'll try flouring the beef and using less stock cubes, but I love a good meaty pie, and this one was perfect!

  Four OXO cubes is three too many. Was far too salty.

  Great recipe, it came out so well, amazingly tasty and the easiest thing I've made in a while, but looked like it had taken the most time! A definite staple for the winter!

  This steak and ale pie is fantastic! I have made this pie several times and it can be varied in so many ways - from what type of ale to different vegetables. Perfect for the cold and dark nights that are now upon us. Thanks again for this lovely heartwarming recipe!

  Hi, delicious! However, 4 Oxo cubes?!!! Over the top salty!! Luckily I tasted in time to save the dish... Had to drain and pretty much start again. Luckily we had more beer in the house ;). Resounding success for family with teenage boys. Didn't have any thyme, so cooked the beef with sticks of celery which I removed before putting on the pie crust. After ladling the meat into pie dish I reduced the stock for a while and thickened with a little cornflour. Served with rice and peas and followed with jam tarts made with left over pastry!

  Halved the recipe with 300g of beef for 2 and there would have been more than enough for 3, so I can imagine 1kg recipe would feed at least 6. Really nice, but like others I put in less stock cubes. Really nice dish that is easy to do and could also make a lovely casserole, if you had no pastry.

  This was excellent, a rich tasty gravy. Used Theakstons Old Peculiar which made a rich strong gravy, plus 2 Knorr beef stockpots and 1 Knorr veg. cube.

  This is a lovely tasty dish, which can also be used to make a stew (if calorie counting!!). I agree with other, it is very salty and only 1 or 2 stock cubes need. I halve the recipe and it would easy serve a family of four!!
