Steak & Gravy Pies - Crestwood

What is it?

Diced beef sits in a thick beef gravy, wrapped in shortcrust pastry and sold as four individual pies. They're the freezer-counter sort you bake at home, with a crisping top and a base that soaks up some of the filling as it cooks. Compared with other frozen pastry items from the same range, this one stays close to the classic steak pie format: meat, gravy, pastry, not much else. Seasoning is straightforward, with the gravy carrying onion, stock and a bit of pepper rather than any bold spicing. Each pie bakes up in about 30 to 40 minutes, and the portion size works well as a standalone meal alongside chips or vegetables.
