This pie tastes great and is easy to make. Two mintor quibbles: It's best eaten with a bowl and spoon as it does not contain enough solids to hold a pie shape. It's basically a pot pie. Also, the serving size is a bit small. All told, this pie only contains about 3 cups of food. My family of 4 found this to be a bit low to share comfortably. If we do the recipe again, we'll probably make 6 servings.

This is a really hearty meal, and could easily be adapted to a "pot pie" style meal by adding some cooked veggies suchas carrots and potatoes or peas. I came home from work planning to make beef stew, but due to traffic didn't want to wait 90 minutes for it to cook and tried this recipe. So glad I did!!!

Great recipe! I took the suggestion to add some carrots & potatoes & let them simmer with the meat. Tastes great every time!

I also made a few changes. Instead of water & mushroom gravy mix, I used fresh mushrooms and beef consome and a splash of red wine. I added potatoes & carrots, fresh herbs & pie crust. Delicious!

This is a very good base recipe for steak pie. Personally, I would add mushrooms, but it should be noted that traditional steak pie is steak only. It is worth pointing out to the people who have commented about "bland" etc., that many of them are confusing "steak" pie (which is traditional UK) with "meat pie" (which is more American). Traditional steak pie has steak, at top crust (or both, if desired -- increase baking time considerably if using double crust), and gravy. Nothing else. This fits the bill perfectly.

This was not good. No one in the family enjoyed it. I thought the meat was tough and the sauce bland. Sorry :(

My mother in law was a true Scots, and this steak pie is exactly like she used to make. The first time I made it recipe exact the second I ditch the mushroom gravy and used beef stock and flour to make it's own gravy, both ways are great. For those who said it was lacking because it needed vegetables or herbs de provence you are not making a true steak pie. This recipe stands on its own. I have even made it with a bottom crust. It was great. Thank you JIMZGRL for such an easy recipe.
