**Steak and Onion Suet Pudding: A Hearty British Classic That Warms the Soul 🥩🧅**
Let’s dive into what makes this humble, hearty dish so beloved — and how you can recreate this nostalgic favorite at home.
—
A **suet pudding** is a traditional British dish made with **suet-based pastry** (suet is hard fat from around a cow or sheep’s kidneys) that is usually steamed to create a soft, tender crust. The pastry encases a filling — in this case, **slow-cooked beef and onions in gravy** — and the whole thing is steamed slowly, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, comforting flavor.
Though it takes a bit of time to cook, this dish is **surprisingly simple** to prepare and totally worth the effort.
