We love a good pie in England and steak pie is a classic. This recipe is perfect for pie lovers looking for a twist. It’s a beautifully golden, crusted puff pastry pie with a braising steak, blue cheese, and brown ale filling. A lovely comforting meal on chilly winter evenings.
There are a number of flavourful side dishes that can nicely complement the strong flavours of a steak and blue cheese pie. Some of our favourites are:
Due to the juiciness of the meat and other ingredients in the filling, steak pies can sometimes become soggy. To avoid this, you could sprinkle some dried breadcrumbs or extra flour on the bottom crust before baking in the oven.
Braising involves cooking big pieces of meat partially covered in liquid, while stewing utilises smaller pieces of steak fully immersed in liquid.
