This is one of those recipes which is causing such a stir on the Slimming World Facebook groups that all the supermarkets seem to be selling out of the ingredients!
It’s a simple yet effective idea, using tinned stewed steak (only certain brands are free- Asda and M&S are according to the online syns calculator at the time of posting, but check the nutritional information on the online syns calculator to check, and if in any doubt at all, please check with your Slimming World Consultant!) and a Hovis Good Inside or a Kingsmill wholemeal sandwich thin you can create a crispy, steaky little delight without going off track!
Steak pie has always been my favourite meal, so I am so pleased to discover this alternative! I don’t know who originally came up with the idea, so I’m unfortunately unable to credit, but hats off to whoever it was! The stewed steak is quite pricey (the Asda one around £2.38 per tin, and the M&S one around £3.30), but one tin should do 6 steak bakes, so you can freeze it in portions, or even pre-prepare 6 and freeze them for a quick and easy lunch.
Obviously if you have time to make your own steak mix even better- throw in some mushrooms and onions too- yum! I would probably make it in the slow-cooker, just pre-fry onions and some casserole beef or brisket, and then add in whatever you fancy- carrots, mushrooms, swede… cover with stock, season and leave in the slow-cooker to cook until perfectly tender! It’s also a lovely, easy thing to freeze into portions and would be very versatile as a jacket potato filling/ to serve with veg for dinner!
