Common Questions About Steak Pie 

I Don’t Have a Dutch Oven; What Can I Use Instead?

No worries! A large casserole dish or a deep frying pan can work wonders as substitutes. Just ensure it’s oven-safe if you’re planning to bake in it.

If you haven’t gotten into the cast iron game yet, there are some great options out there that won’t break the bank.

Can I Make This Pie Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prepare the beef mixture a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just ensure it’s at room temperature when you add your pie crust before baking. That way we can make sure everything cooks properly and even.

What’s the Best Meat Cut for This Pie?

Sirloin is wonderful, but chuck steak or even beef stew meat, when slow-cooked, becomes incredibly tender and flavorsome. The meat pies you dream of are right around the corner!

Storage

This meat pie is a hearty dish that’s great for when the weather starts to cool down. It will warm the kitchen and your belly. Don’t forget to save that recipe card! It will go really well in your fall favorites section.

Refrigerator

Store any leftover pie in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven until hot throughout.

Freezer

Steak pie freezes well. Ensure it’s cooled completely, wrap in cling film, and store in airtight containers. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips

For best results, don’t cut your steak pieces too large. We want to make sure they cook really well and get nice and tender. 

• Brushing with Egg Yolk: For a shinier and golden brown finish on top of the pie, brush your pastry with beaten egg before baking.
• Avoid the Soggy Bottom: Preheat your baking tray and place your pie dish or pie pan on it. This helps the bottom of the pie crust to cook faster.
• Enrich the Gravy: A splash of red wine or tomato purée adds a richer, deeper flavor to your gravy. Just remember to simmer it well.
• Dutch Oven Magic: Cooking your beef mixture in a Dutch oven ensures even and slow cooking, making the beef super tender.

How to Make Steak Pie Recipe

In the end, you’ll have created a dish that is not only delicious but also great to look at. Trust me, you’ll get rave reviews from any crowd with this one!

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
4. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook them for a few minutes until they are slightly softened.
5. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.
6. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for a couple of minutes.
7. Stir in the milk or heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
8. Return the cooked steak pieces to the skillet and stir into the sauce and vegetables.
9. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the filling in the skillet. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
10. Bake the steak pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
