Steak & Cheddar Pie

Full product description

Comfort with a cheesy grin. Our steak & cheddar pie packs tender slow-cooked beef into a rich gravy, finished with mature cheddar for a creamy, savoury lift. Capped with a golden puff pastry lid, it bakes flaky and crisp while the filling turns glossy and indulgent underneath. Perfect with mash and greens, or go pub-style with chunky chips and extra gravy.

How to cook (from chilled)

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

  4. Bake on a tray 25–40 mins (size dependent) until the pastry is deep golden and the centre is piping hot throughout.
