Beef Pot Pie Recipe
You can make this three ways as far as the pot pie crust goes. Below we show how to just place one on the top with the filling down below. You just scoop it out with fewer carbs and won’t have to dirty two dishes in the process. You can alternatively lay 1 inside a pie pan, pour the cooked filling inside, with another on the top as well.
If you wanted to go another direction, you could make the insides as directed below and the breading like our Bisquick Pot Pie. In that you mix together a biscuit-like top, pour it on top and then bake. A different texture but still delish. Try them all I say and decide for yourself!

Can you turn stew into beef pot pie?
Yes, that is basically what this beef stew are on the insides. It can be made with fresh or leftover chuck roast or some air fryer frozen steak you had the day before!! The only difference is for precooked you just have to warm with the mixed vegetables vs. fresh needs to be browned on the outside.

What can you do with leftover fork tender roast beef?
If this is the type of meat you have, use that!! It literally doesn’t matter what type is in the fridge. Roast beef is typically marinated so you’ll have even more flavor to your dish. Use the same directions for any type.
- Add the bite-sized sirloin steak pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides. (just one minute to warm if it is precoked) Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook them for a few minutes until they are slightly softened. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.
- Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for a couple of minutes. Stir in the milk or heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Return the cooked sirloin steak to the skillet and mix it well with the sauce and vegetables.
- Roll out the pie crust(s) and place it over the filling in the skillet if you just want one, or put 1 on bottom of a pie pan with the filling inside and a 2nd on the top crimped together on the edges. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the steak pot pie in the preheated oven for 30 – 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove the pie from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before scooping out and serving.
What can we do with leftover tough steak?
This is a great option because in the sauce heated for a while will tenderize the pieces if they are chewy and tough. I have made chili with them too which is another great option, in your slow cooker is your best bet on low, with a can of diced tomatoes, beans and seasonings.
Saving leftover pot pie is a great way to enjoy another delicious meal later on. Allow to cool down to room temperature before storing it. This helps prevent condensation from forming inside the container, which can make the pastry crust soggy. Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator and reheat within 3-4 days. Or wrap with aluminum foil and store inside a freezer bag for 2-3 months.
If you have a whole Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuits or beef version that won’t be completely consumed in one meal, consider slicing or portioning it into individual servings. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need.
Can You Make Pot Pie with Steak?
Yep, visit our printable recipe card below for instructions on that one. When you’re ready to enjoy the leftover pot pie, you have a couple of options for reheating. Some take longer than others of course and typically nuking it is the easiest and fastest of them all.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove any plastic wrap or foil from the pot pie and place it in an oven-safe dish. Cover the dish with foil to prevent excessive browning, and heat for about 20-30 minutes or until the filling is hot and the pastry is crispy.
- If you’re in a hurry, you can reheat individual portions in the microwave. Place a piece of pot pie on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe paper towel, and heat on medium power in 30-second increments until heated through.
Once reheated, enjoy all over again. Remember that while freezing can extend the shelf life, the texture of the pastry crust may change slightly after freezing and reheating again. Nevertheless, it’s still a convenient way to enjoy a delicious homemade meal even on a busy day.
