Steak Pie is a classic comfort dish made with tender chunks of slow-cooked beef in a rich, savory gravy, topped with golden, flaky puff pastry. Perfect for cozy family dinners or special occasions, this hearty pie delivers deep flavor and satisfying texture in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup dark ale or additional beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Season beef with salt and black pepper and brown in batches until well seared. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, cook chopped onion until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add tomato paste and stir well.
  6. Gradually pour in beef broth and ale, stirring constantly until smooth.
  7. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Return beef to the pot.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until beef is tender and gravy thickens. Let cool slightly.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  10. Transfer beef filling to a pie dish.
  11. Place puff pastry over the top, trim excess, seal edges, and cut small slits for steam.
  12. Brush pastry with beaten egg.
  13. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and puffed.
  14. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Allow filling to cool slightly before adding pastry to prevent sogginess.
  • Simmer until gravy is thick and rich.
  • Filling can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor.
  • Freeze filling separately for best results.
  • Store-bought puff pastry works perfectly.
