Steak & Stilton Pie

What is it?

Chunks of beef steak sit in a savoury gravy with Stilton blue cheese, all tucked under pastry. Sold as a frozen pie, it goes from freezer to oven rather than the hob. Filling is a straightforward mix of meat, stock-style gravy and cheese, with the Stilton bringing a salty, blue-cheese note that runs through the whole pie. Compared with more traditional steak pie options, this one swaps in dairy sharpness for a cleaner, more pointed flavour profile. Stilton melts into the gravy as it bakes, so you won't find distinct chunks of cheese but rather a blue-tinged richness that coats each piece of beef. Pastry on top goes golden and flaky when cooked properly.
