You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes beef steak and kidney pie but it is possible. The key is to not eat beef steak and kidney pie or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Beef Steak and Kidney Pie

3/4 pound calf kidney or beef liver
Salted water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds beef steak, cut into bite-size pieces
4 tablespoons butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup beef bouillon
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of marjoram, crushed
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced and saut?ed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pastry Topping

Clean and split kidney; remove fat and large tubes. Soak in salted water 1 hour. Dry and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Mix flour, salt and pepper; roll kidney and beef pieces in flour mixture. Melt butter in heavy pot and saut? shallots. When shallots have taken on a little color, add beef and kidney; brown lightly, turning. Add bouillon, bay leaf, parsley, cloves and marjoram. Stir; cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until meat is tender. Add mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce. If liquid is too thin, thicken with smooth paste of flour and cold water.

Grease a deep 10-inch baking dish. Place pie funnel in center. Add meat mixture and allow to cool in refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare pastry. Place pastry over meat, sealing pastry edges to edge of dish. Make vents in pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes; lower heat to 375 degrees F and continue baking 15 minutes, or until crust is golden.

Pastry Topping
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

Cut shortening into flour and salt until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans sides of bowl, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary. Gather pastry into a ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Roll out to fit top of casserole.
