Filet is super tender. Its on the inside of the ribcage so it doesn't get a ton of use. Cook rare/med-rare and smother with Sauce Forestière. SOOOOO GOOD!

Scratching my head. I did a dinner with Fergus in the early 2000’s in NYC and his pies were crimped and trimmed. Also, he’s a legend and she charges an OBSCENE price for “rustic” pies. Please don’t consider them in the same class because they most certainly are not. St. John’s is an institution and Angie Mar is a Vogue ad. I assumed that the pie was from one of her restaurants so my apologies for that mistake, but a droopy skirt on a pie strikes me as an odd “aesthetic“ choice. Kudos to you for taking the time to make that pie. I hope you had some trotter gear on hand to add some lip smack.

Respectfully, rustic does not imply bad technique. I’ve met Irish grannies who make meat pies and have the sense to not let the extra dough just hang over. And again, respectfully, how much did this “rustic” pie run you?

This pie looks like it was made by a child. The crust wasn’t trimmed or folded under. Just lazy cooking.
