Steak and Ale Pie
Steak + ale + pastry = heavenly pies
Definitely a contender for the crown of Best Pie Ever, Coombe Farm Organic's steak and ale pie will fill the hungriest tummies and satisfy the fussiest of pie eaters. We've taken all organic ingredients – including our diced stewing steak and Atlantic Brewery's Organic Ale – and slow cooked them until the meat is falling-apart tender and infused with the flavour of the ale. When combined with crumbly buttery short crust pastry the result is the perfect marriage of flavours and textures. A sprinkling of seasoning and a well-reduced (but plentiful) gravy are all that's needed to finish off this king of pies.

Putting good stuff in is what guarantees a pie turns out well. We've partnered with expert bakers who worked with us to create a recipe that's perfect every time. That means we've thought about how chunky to cut the meat, how much ale to put in, how thin to roll the pastry and how thick to make the gravy. Then we had to test it, of course. It was a hard job, but someone had to do it. It goes without saying that our slow-grown organic beef was always going to be the star attraction. It's well matured and is naturally rich in flavour, so it really needs the bare minimum of messing about to bring out its best.

-
Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month’s worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.
-
All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.
You will find all the ingredients on the relevant product pages.
-
We have a dedicated page which explains all the different cuts and where they come from. Find out more here www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk
Can't Find the Answer?
If you cannot find the answer to your question and would like to speak to someone contact us and we will be happy to help.
For the best results, we recommend fully defrosting your steak and ale pie before cooking. Brush the pastry lid with egg wash and cook your pie at 180°C for about 20 minutes, until it's golden all over and irresistibly crispy. Serve with a glass of your favourite hoppy ale. It would be rude not to.

Placed an order for several items and it came very quickly, beautifully packaged, well insulated with frozen ice packs. All that we have eaten so far has been excellent. Highly recommended.
