Auntie Em's Steak And Potato Pie Recipe

This award-winning Steak and Potato Pie recipe, straight from Auntie Em's restaurant (as seen on MSNBC!), is a culinary masterpiece. Forget everything you thought you knew about pot pie – this flaky, buttery masterpiece is in a league of its own. Even without the steak, the incredible flavor combination of perfectly seasoned potatoes and rich gravy will leave you craving seconds (and thirds!). While making the homemade pate brisee (pie crust) is a labor of love, the result is a crust so unbelievably delicious, it's half the magic. This recipe uses an ice water and lemon juice method for an extra-flaky texture. Feel free to substitute tequila for cognac in the filling – the alcohol cooks off, leaving behind a delightful hint of warmth. Prepare to be amazed!

How to Make Auntie Em's Steak And Potato Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the pate brisee following your favorite recipe or using the one referenced in the original description (ice water & lemon juice method).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of cubed steak over medium-high heat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 large onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet. Cook until softened.
  4. Stir in 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup tequila (or cognac). Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Roll out the pate brisee and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  7. Pour the steak and potato filling into the pie crust.
  8. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
