Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef tri-tip or lean marbled beef (flank or skirt steaks work well)
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 lb frozen peas and carrots or use ½ bag frozen peas and 2 carrots diced
  • 1 tablespoons butter/oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth or chicken broth for a lighter flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 pie crust homemade pie crust, or purchased
  • options
  • 4 oz potatoes diced (saute with carrot and celery and cook until tender in sauce)
  • 1-2 teaspoons chicken or beef bullion for added flavor (add when you add broth)
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • Egg wash for a more golden crust egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water or cream (brush over top of pie crust before baking)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°
  • This recipe is flexible, you can put it in a 9" pie plate 2-5" pie tins, or smaller baking dishes.
  • I used 3 aluminum pie tins.
  • I rolled the pie crust, then cut it 4 inches round with a little flour. I used the rim of a round bowl to create the circle. Before getting the filling ready I pressed the edges with a fork to make the crimped design and cut a crisis cross in the center to allow steam to release and avoid the pie bubbling over.
  • For the filling:
  • Slice the beef into thin strips.
  • In a hot skillet add the beef and stir fry it until it’s all browned nicely in a tablespoon of butter/oil.
  • Next, add in the onion and stir.
  • Then you’ll add in the carrots and peas.
  • Mix the beef broth, Worcestershire, and soy sauce with cornstarch, pour over the beef and simmer.
  • The sauce will thicken (add more cornstarch and water if it’s not thick enough)
  • Place the beef mixture into the pie plates/dishes.
  • Place the prepared pie crust and stretch it just a bit to cover the filling.
  • Place the pies on a baking sheet in case there was any spillover and to help to transfer them to and from the oven evenly.
  • Bake for 15-30 minutes or until the beef pot pies are bubbly and heated thoroughly and the pie crust is golden and cooked.
  • Remove pot pies from the oven and allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
