Is there anything more comforting, impressive and hearty than a homemade Steak Pie? This recipe is filled with meltingly soft and tender beef, rich tasty gravy and topped with crunchy puff pastry. Even better, it’s super easy to make (easy, not quick, but hardly any ‘hands on’ cooking time, so let’s forgive it OK?)Serve this for a midweek treat or a Sunday lunch. Leftovers are so good too, or eat one, freeze one, as a handy batch cook hack!
Why you’ll love this Beef Steak Pie
⭐️ Great for batch cooking (eat one and freeze one) ⭐️ Really easy to make but looks so impressive ⭐️ The ultimate comfort food meal But sometimes baking a pie can seem a bit much in our busy lives. This is exactly why I wanted to make a very SIMPLIFIED pie that ticked all of the boxes for flavour and satisfaction, but also happened to be ridiculously easy to make. After much testing and testing again, I think we’ve cracked it! All you have to do is fry off your beef, add veggies and flour, then stock to make a sauce. Simmer it gently for about two hours, then top with pastry and the BEST steak pie is ready for the oven. As easy as pie! (So easy, we can even enjoy this midweek too.) You can also make the filling in the slow cooker instead if you’d rather. The tips are below for how to do this.

In the freezer This recipe freezes well and is a great batch cook recipe. Make the pie and let it cool before freezing (unbaked). On the day you want it, let it thaw fully and then bake in the oven until the middle is hot through and the top is golden as normal. As you warm up your oven, put a baking tray in to heat up. Then when you put your pie in the oven, sit the dish on top of the hot baking tray. I find that this really helps to cook the base of the Steak Pie and stop a soggy bottom. You can prepare your filling this way if you prefer. Simply brown your mince and cook for about 3-4 hours on HIGH. Reduce the liquid to 400ml instead. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
