steak into pies???

well ive never been fab in the kitchen, i have some left over steaks that need to be cooked was thinking of turning them into pies so please tell me your best reciepe to help this amatuer cook

the simplest way i can think of is to make some thickish gravy, and spoon lots of steak and gravy onto some puff pastry. Cook according to directions!!!
Maybe add some onions and mushrooms??
Good luck!

I'd do what Krystals said. Cut the steaks into smallish cubes (small bite size for pies is good I think), dust in flour with a little pepper and sweet paprika, brown on all sides, then add some fried finely chopped onion (I cook it in the pan before the steak) and enough water to make a thick gravy. Don't add too much water to start with (remember, you can always add, but you cannot take away), and some gravy powder would add some extra colour, flavour, and thickening too. Cook, covered, on low heat until meat is cooked through. What you want is a really thick casserole, so if you have a favourite casserole dish, you can basically just put it into pies! Happy cooking.

Oh yeah, I use short crust pastry on the bottom of the pies, and puff only on the top, brushed with egg wash (an egg beaten with a little milk) to brown.

hehe Netix, your instructions were way more helpful!

Aww shucks krystals.... Anyhow, you started it! :P :)

thanks ladies thats on my list for tomorro mmm they sound yummo :)

I usually cut the steak into chunks, roll it in seasoned flour, cook it in a bit of oil (to brown), then make a gravy mix around it (using the fat/flour/seasoning from the meat), increase the liquid level (i use a mix of stock and water) and let it slow simmer until the meat is very tender, depends on the meat how long, I sometimes add red wine, you can add extra vegetables towards the end, then I put it in a heatproof dish and put some puff pastry over the top.
