How many calories in a steak and stilton pie? ›

Coating the inside surface of the bottom crust will create a barrier to prevent sogginess. Adding a layer of corn syrup or a slightly beaten egg white before pouring in the filling will form a seal between the pie dough and the filling and will help make the crust crisp and flaky.

Like a classic beef stew recipe, the best beef for steak pie is beef chuck, aka “stew beef.” This affordable cut of meat can sometimes be a little less tender, making it the best option for the slow roasting required for this savory steak pie.

Flour as Pie Filling Thickener

Teaspoon for teaspoon, you will need to use about twice as much flour as you would cornstarch or tapioca to achieve the same thickening effects. Adding too much flour to your pie filling will turn it cloudy and pasty, with a distinctly floury taste.
