Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin steak, trimmed and cubed
• 1 cup Unsalted beef stock
• 1 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 sheets No-sodium pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the unsalted beef stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add the thyme and black pepper.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the skillet. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Roll out one sheet of the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 8

Spoon the beef mixture into the pie crust, ensuring an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges of the crusts together. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
