Steak and Potato Pie

Hearty comforting dishes like Steak and Potato Pie are always a welcome sight on our dinner table. The filling is made with tender perfectly seasoned pieces of sirloin steak that are simmered in a rich sauce that creates its own gravy. Add mushrooms, sweet onion and chunks of golden potatoes then bake wrapped in a double pastry crust until golden. Absolute deliciousness there’s just no other way to describe it.

Ingredients to Make Steak and Potato Pie Recipe

Steak and potato pie is a hearty main dish to serve family style. My love of meat pies started quite young. Meat pies are common fare in many cultures made with a variety of savory fillings. While I’ve always enjoyed steak and potato pie, I have tasted some versions that were quite bland in flavor due to lack of seasonings. This savory pie recipe is my take on meat pie seasoned the way we like it. Ingredients you’ll need to make Southern-style Steak and Potato Pie: (Scroll down for full printable recipe card.)

Tips for Making Easy Steak and Potato Pie

• Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need: A large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board, 10-inch cast iron skillet or similar oven safe skillet or pie dish.
• Use an Oven Safe Skillet: I prefer to bake this pie in a cast iron skillet for the even heating and the beautiful way it bakes the bottom crust. You can make this in any similar size oven safe skillet or pan.
• Raid Your Pantry for Ingredients: Don’t be intimidated by the ingredient list most of the items are pantry staples.
• Make-Ahead Tip: I recommend that you make the filling for this steak pie in advance and cool it for the best result. The reason? Doing so allows the filling to reheat gently in the oven preventing the steak from overcooking. It also keeps the bottom pie crust from becoming soggy. Cooling also allows the gravy time to thicken.
• Cooling the Steak Prevents Overcooking: Can you use the steak filling the same day you prepare it? Of course, just allow the filling a little time to cool before assembling the pie.
• Side Dishes to Serve with Steak and Potato Pie: Serving Suggestion Serve this pie with a side of Garlic Parmesan Roasted Vegetables and a Wedge Salad for a homestyle feast.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

• Beef: You could use chuck steak in place of sirloin tip. When doing so, please note the filling will take longer to cook.
• Add Red Wine: You could replace 1/2 of the beef stock with red wine.
• Add More Vegetables: You could add diced carrot or petite peas along with the diced potatoes. You need around 1/4-1/3 cup of either one should be ample.
• Potatoes: You can use russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold potatoes.

Storage and Leftovers

• Make-Ahead Tip: I recommend that you make the beef mixture for this steak pie in advance and allow it to cool for the best result. Why? Doing so, allows the steak filling to reheat gently in the oven preventing the steak from overcooking. It also keeps the bottom pie crust from becoming soggy. Cooling also allows the gravy time to thicken.
