Steak Puddings

[hammerman]

I want to make a steak pudding...possibly steak, mushroom and onion. Looked at a few online recipes and most suggest boiling/steaming for 3 1/2-4 hours.
Any recipes that have a shorter time?

Can you still buy Goblin puddings in a tin?

A pressure cooker will reduce the cooking time to around 2 hours if you have one ?

The longer the steam or boil, the better and juicier the pudding will be. I'm old fashioned and don't like cutting down SOME things to modernity. It doesn't work in some instances imo.

Do the meat in a slow cooker overnight and make the pudding the next day.

If you use puff pastry (instead of suet pastry), but don't allow it to actually 'puff', you can achieve a similar result in a shorter time. See here:

Oh, sorry, you mean the whole pudding. I misunderstood.

For a pure steak PUDDING steamed or boiled...imo it has to be suet pastry...nowt else will do. Don't do quick...do long and slow, you can surely taste the difference. Well that is, if you have discerning taste buds lol.
