Homemade Steak & Ale Pie For Two In The Airfryer

Welcome to my homemade steak and ale pie for two in the Airfryer recipe.

If you want to go back in time to the 80’s or even further the traditional pie will be a huge part of your food memories. I was an 80’s baby and Dominic was a 70’s baby growing up in the North of England and we all have memories of the trusted pie.

I remember my mum would always be cooking the traditional steak and kidney pie in the kitchen for my Dad. We didn’t have a very big kitchen because we lived on the premises of a holidays flats establishment, so if cooking was happening it would smell the whole place out.

Well she would be cooking these pies and I thought the smell of them was absolutely disgusting and I always wanted to be as far away from them as possible. To me (I was a vegetarian at the time) it looked like dog food with some pastry on top. I also hated really thick old fashioned gravy and always thought that kidneys were absolutely disgusting.
