Smoked Pie ........................

The thread on perfect pie crusts and my love of smoking has driven me to try and join the 2 in a smoked beef pot pie. The pie dough is chilling in the frig and the meat just went on the smoker.

So, this being a real experiment, I'm starting with some rubbed chuck roast that is cubed to create more surface area. (stew meat)

Meat that has been coated with my rubs





Because the meat is cubed, I'm putting a little broth underneath it to help keep it from drying out.

  • I'm praying for enough filling to pull off both a pot pie and a small shepherds pie. I struggled all week with which one I wanted to make so both would be appropriate. ;-)
  • Your idea is in the finest traditions of the meat pies in the UK, whether Welsh, Irish, Yorkshire, or Scottish. You can even make hand held pies called Forfar Bridies from Scotland. They use the same pie crist. Forfar Bridies make great traveling meals.
