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
- about 2 pounds of steak (any cut you like) cut into bite-sized pieces
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 (1 oz) packet of brown gravy mix
- 1 cup of beef stock
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (at room temp)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pop this in your preheated oven and bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and serve alongside smushed peas and mashed potatoes.
