Easy Weeknight Beef Pie

Well, this is part “recipe” and part “my plate” because every single time I make this actual recipe for my family, it’s so dark outside that I can’t get a good pic.  I heated up the yummy leftovers for my lunch this week and photographed them though because it’s high time I share.

I always make this with smashed peas and mashed potatoes…but there were not any left for my leftovers.  Let’s just pretend you’re seeing them too, okay? 😉

My kids are REALLY into any sort of Beef and Ale Pie when we travel (you know we love our pub food), but I don’t necessarily have a ton of time on a random weeknight to whip one up.  What I’ve been doing is making a “faux” version and my kiddos have been giving it rave reviews.  Ashby is my “least” carnivore-ish child, and she would tell you this is her new favorite recipe, so I consider that an extra win.

It’s a wink and a nod to the classic pub recipe but made super simple for weeknight suppers.  Enjoy! xx

Description

My Easy Weeknight Beef Pie a wink and a nod to the classic pub recipe but made super simple for weeknight suppers.  Enjoy! xx

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• about 2 pounds of steak (any cut you like) cut into bite-sized pieces
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large oven-proof skillet or pan, brown your steak pieces in a big drizzle of EVOO over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle on a liberal amount of both salt and pepper.  Once browned, drain if necessary (depending on the cut of meat, you might want to drain it a bit) and then stir in your chopped onions to sauté as well.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk together your brown gravy and beef stock over medium heat.  Whisk continuously until thickened (it only takes about a minute).  Once your gravy is thickened, pour this over your beef and onions.  Allow this to all simmer together over low about five minutes.
4. Take one pie crust and place it over the top of your beef and onions.  I cut a few slits across the top of the crust just to vent it a bit.
5. Pop this in your preheated oven and bake about 10 to 12 minutes.  Remove from oven and serve alongside smushed peas and mashed potatoes.
