Philadelphia Cheesesteak Pie

Ingredients

This adaptation transforms the traditional British pie into a Philadelphia-inspired delight. Instead of the usual meat and vegetable filling, it features the iconic combination of thinly sliced beef, sautéed onions, and bell peppers that are synonymous with the famous Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The addition of melted provolone cheese adds a creamy and cheesy element, elevating the flavors to a whole new level. We alse have the original recipe for Pie, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef sirloin — For best results, slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
• Provolone cheese — Use high-quality provolone cheese for a rich and creamy flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
• If you prefer a softer crust, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking.
• Customize the filling by adding mushrooms, jalapenos, or your favorite cheese.

Serving advice

Serve the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Pie warm, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad.

Presentation advice

To showcase the golden crust, place the pie on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Cut into slices and serve on individual plates for an elegant presentation.
