This steak pie-in-a-tin had a wonderful catchline in the TV ad: “It’s Beef! It’s Beef!”.
In reality, they had a greasy crust, meat that needed a forensic eye, and gravy like a brownish tide after a water company overflow – all squeezed into a tin the size of a Frisbee.
These days, you wouldn’t feed it to your dog, but it was so Glam because it was steak – and they fed a generation of Britons quickly and cheaply.
Serve with Blue Nun and Smash for maximum nostalgia.
