Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef steak (e.g., sirloin or eye round), trimmed of all visible fat
• 250 milliliters Low-sodium beef stock
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 150 grams Mushrooms, sliced
• 100 grams Reduced-fat shredded cheese (e.g., light cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Cut the lean beef steak into small bite-sized cubes and season with ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of water or use non-stick cooking spray to sauté the onions until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the beef cubes and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned on all sides.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium beef stock and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the beef mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Stir the reduced-fat shredded cheese into the beef mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 9

Lightly spray an 8-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray. Layer two phyllo pastry sheets in the dish, spraying a light mist of cooking spray between each layer.

Step 10

Pour the beef and cheese filling into the pie dish, smoothing it out with a spoon.

Step 11

Cover the filling with the remaining two phyllo pastry sheets, tucking the edges into the dish and lightly crumpling the top for texture. Spray the top layer with cooking spray to help it crisp up.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-fat steak and cheese pie!
