  • Total Time: 2 hrs 55 mins
  • Yield: 1 9-inch pie (serves 6)

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Vegetables and Broth

  • 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
  • 3 large carrots, diced
  • 3 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed

Thickening Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup water

Pie Crust

  • 2 (9 inch) refrigerator pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the sirloin steak is cut into cubes and vegetables are properly diced.
  2. Brown and Simmer Beef: In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the cubed sirloin on all sides. Add enough water to almost cover the meat, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 to 3 hours until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
  3. Shred Beef and Season: Transfer the cooked beef to a large mixing bowl. Shred it slightly using forks and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Cook Vegetables: In a separate 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the beef broth with the diced carrots and cubed potatoes. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are almost tender.
  5. Preheat Oven: While the vegetables cook, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  6. Combine Beef and Vegetables: When the carrots and potatoes are nearly done, transfer them to the mixing bowl with the shredded beef, adding the thawed peas as well. Leave the broth in the saucepan.
  7. Make Thickened Broth: Dissolve the cornstarch in ⅓ cup of water, then pour this mixture into the saucepan with the remaining beef broth. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes until the broth has thickened.
  8. Assemble Pie: Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the beef and vegetable filling into the crust and then cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges well. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake: Place the assembled pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and bubbling.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Slow simmering the beef ensures it becomes tender and flavorful.
  • Be sure to cut slits in the top pie crust for steam to escape, preventing sogginess.
  • You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling for additional flavor.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for lunch or dinner the next day.
