This hearty beef pot pie is a true comfort food, a classic dish that has been warming homes for generations. Imagine a flaky, golden brown crust, filled with a savory filling of tender beef, mixed vegetables, and a rich gravy. It’s enough to make you mouth water. It is the perfect meal to serve on a cold day or busy weeknight.
I love pot pies. They’re so satisfying and hearty. This classic, rustic dish has been one I’ve been eating since I was a kid. I loved it when my mother made it, and when I got older, I continued to make pot pies. They made great family meals that can be enjoyed for a couple of days – if there are leftovers, and those are delicious as well.
I’m a particularly big fan of this beef pot pie because it uses tender, juicy New York Strip steak. It’s a high-quality cut of beef that cooks up incredibly tender in this recipe, but it’s not overly expensive, either.
Beef Pot Pie
This delicious pot pie starts with a ready-made pie crust to keep things simple. I press into a pie plate and fill it with classic beef pot pie filling full of New York steak, frozen mixed vegetables, cheddar cheese, and a rich, creamy sauce. After that, I bake it until the crust is golden and flaky, and then I just watch it disappear. Whether I make it for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or bring it to a party, it’s always quickly devoured.

How to Make Beef Pot Pie
This straightforward recipe involves just a little stovetop work, filling, and baking. The entire thing takes about an hour from start to finish, so it’s perfect for any occasion, including weeknight meals.
Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a deep dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Then, roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and place one crust in the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the beef and sprinkle it with Slap Ya Mama seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika. Cook until browned, remove from the pan, and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the same pan and cook the celery, onions, and garlic, stirring frequently, until the onions are transparent and the celery is tender.
Step 4: Make the Gravy
Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. Then, gradually pour the beef broth and heavy cream into the pan, stirring frequently, until hot and thickened.
Step 5: Add the Vegetables and Cheese
Add the thawed vegetables and cheese, stir, and let cook for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Bake
Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and top with the remaining crust. Seal and flute the edges, and cut several slits into the top. Brush with egg wash and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Stir frequently when cooking the vegetables so they don’t burn, especially the garlic.
- Cook your veggies in the same pan as you did the beef. This adds so much more beefy flavor to the dish.
- Stir frequently when cooking the gravy filling to prevent sticking and help the roux thicken the gravy rather than sinking to the bottom.
Variations
- You can use chicken or pork for this recipe.
- Sirloin steak, Chuck roast, and beef stew meat can all be used for this recipe.
- Use your favorite frozen vegetables for this dish, such as peas and carrots. They all work.
- Try sprinkling the top crust with shredded cheddar cheese before baking.
What to Serve with Beef Pot Pie
