Epic Steak and Vegetable Pie with Filo Pastry

Introduction

Savory, flaky, and packed with robust flavors, this Epic Steak and Vegetable Pie with Filo Pastry offers the ultimate comfort food experience. Combining tender steak and a medley of fresh vegetables under a golden, crunchy blanket of filo, this dish is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for family dinners and festive gatherings.

The lightness of filo brings a delightful contrast to the rich, hearty filling, making each forkful both indulgent and satisfying—without the heaviness of traditional pie crusts.

Why This Epic Steak and Vegetable Pie Stands Out

The magic of this recipe lies in its perfect layering: deeply flavored beef, earthy vegetables, a savory sauce, and crisp, buttery filo. The combination results in a pie that’s both hearty and elegant. The textural play between the soft, comforting filling and the crackling filo topping is impossible to resist. This recipe also allows for versatility—swap in your favorite seasonal veggies for year-round appeal.

Key Steps for an Epic Pie Filling

For the most flavorful pie, slowly simmer your steak until meltingly tender. Choose a mix of classic vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, and peas, or add your favorites. Uniformly diced veggies ensure everything cooks evenly and offers the perfect bite; a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can make prep fast and consistently perfect.

Cook your filling in a quality skillet—using a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch helps achieve a gorgeous sear on both steak and vegetables while keeping cleanup simple.

Layering Filo for Perfect Results

Filo pastry is delicate but rewarding. Layer multiple thin sheets, brushing each lightly with olive oil or melted butter to encourage a beautiful golden finish and irresistible crispness. Place the filo over the cooled filling, tucking in edges for maximum crunch.

Line your baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before assembling—the extra insurance against sticking also means easy removal and a tidy presentation.

Baking and Serving Your Steak and Vegetable Pie

Bake until the filo shatters into golden shards at the touch of a fork. For even and rapid cooking, a digital thermometer like the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking ensures the internal filling is piping hot and safe to serve.

Pair slices with a simple salad or steamed greens for a balanced meal. Leftovers reheat beautifully and can be packed for lunch in a Bentgo Salad Container for freshness on-the-go.

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

This recipe serves about 6 generous portions, each offering a good balance of protein and veggies. Depending on your cut of steak and amount of olive oil used, each slice lands in the 450–550 calorie range.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup.
2. In a large SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add steak in batches, searing until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. To the same pan, add onions and carrots. Sauté until onions are translucent, then add mushrooms and garlic. Cook for 2–3 more minutes.
4. Return steak to the pan. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, mixing well.
5. Add beef stock and peas. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 25–30 minutes or until the steak is very tender.
6. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the filling to cool for 15 minutes.
7. Spoon filling into your parchment-lined dish. Lay one sheet of filo over the filling and brush with olive oil. Repeat, layering and brushing each sheet, scrunching for texture and coverage. Use 8–10 sheets total.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until filo is golden and crisp. (Optional: Check temperature with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking—filling should be 165°F or above.)
9. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot, garnished with parsley, alongside a fresh salad stored in a Bentgo Salad Container for crispness.
