Method

  1. 1

    Brown the diced beef and kidneys in a large pan over a high heat in batches, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the chopped onion in the same pan for 6 minutes until softened, then stir in the plain flour.

  3. 3

    Return the beef and kidneys to the pan, pour in the beef stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes until starting to tenderise (it will finish cooking as the pudding steams).

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, mix the self-raising flour and shredded suet with enough cold water to make a soft dough, then roll out two-thirds to line a buttered pudding basin.

  5. 5

    Spoon the beef and kidney filling into the lined basin, then roll out the remaining dough as a lid and press to seal the edges.

  6. 6

    Cover the basin with baking paper and foil, then steam over simmering water for 45 minutes, topping up the water as needed.

  7. 7

    Check there is no pink meat remaining when you turn the pudding out.

  8. 8

    Serve in thick wedges with any remaining gravy.
