For me this pie is heaven in a dish. Succulent slow cooked beef, rich guinness and puff pastry. It's really easy to cook, throw in the fact it uses the cheapest cut of beef, and you have a sure fire winner!

This is a proper dish to brighten up a cold winter day and is a great alternative to a Sunday roast. It's also a great example of the fact that beef doesn't need to be expensive, just cooked with a bit of TLC

Salads can be boring. Plain leaves with no dressing and a bit of rubbery chicken. This salad shows how they should be done, with juicy steak, bursting with flavour. Complement this with delicious watercress and a zingy lemon dressing and you have a great flavoursome dish.

This is a real treat for steak lovers. With this dish you have the strong combination of peppery rocket and salty parmesan, providing the perfect companions to a well cooked steak.

Spag Bol. This is a dish that has suffered from being a student favourite containing only mince and cheap supermarket sauce. With a little care and attention though, spaghetti bolognese should be a dish that's the ultimate in comfort and packed with flavour.

This recipe is the epitome of simplicity and it's so quick to make. Succulent steak & fresh tagliatelle bound together with melted butter that's infused with the beautiful aroma of chopped fresh rosemary.

This is a proper classic. The creamy peppercorn sauce works so well with a succulent steak. If my wife would allow me, I'd eat this every day!

This dish will get your taste buds going. The fragrant butter infused with thyme, melting over a perfectly cooked steak into creamy cabbage is a great indulgent quick dish.

This is the ultimate comfort food. So rich, delicious and moreish. This recipe is for 4 people and is freezable, but I dare you not to go back for a second helping. Just don't expect to be able to walk for a while after!

This is a delicious chilli - perfect to warm you up and a great, easy recipe to make in larger quantities. You can serve the lot in a big dish in the middle of the table to share with family or friends, or divide it up into freezer bags to keep for a later date.
