Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
- 3 large carrots, diced
- 3 potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 (9-inch) refrigerator pie crusts
Instructions
- Season the cubed sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Brown it in a large saucepan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
- Add enough water to nearly cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2–3 hours until tender.
- In a separate 2-quart saucepan, heat the beef broth. Add diced carrots and cubed potatoes. Cook for 15–20 minutes until nearly tender, then set aside.
- Shred the cooked beef slightly and place in a mixing bowl. Add carrots, potatoes, and thawed peas. Mix well.
- In the broth saucepan, combine cornstarch with 1/3 cup water to form a slurry. Stir into the broth and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the thickened gravy over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust.
- Fill the crust with the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover with the second crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits in the top to vent steam.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use chuck roast or ground beef as alternatives to sirloin.
- Add vegetables like corn, mushrooms, or green beans for variety.
- Use a roux instead of cornstarch for a different gravy texture.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
