What are the benefits of eating steak pies?

How to Choose the Best Steak Pies
With steak pie being so delicious, you will want to ensure that you choose the best pies every time. Some of the main things to look out for when selecting a steak pie are as follows:
Quality of Ingredients
The base of any delicious food starts with the ingredients' quality. For example, steak pie made from traceable, high-quality meat and vegetables tastes better and offers a healthier alternative than processed steak pie.
Pastry Quality
After the pie filling has been confirmed, the pastry is a vital part of ensuring you choose the best steak pies every time. High-quality, well-made pastry is the key to making your steak pie superior! Look out for pastries that are even throughout and light in colour, which can help ensure your steak pie ends up with a smooth bottom after cooking!
Mud Foods' array of steak pies gives everyone a delicious option to enjoy. Our personal favourite is their highly commended Steak and Kidney pie, which won awards at the British pie awards in 2021.
How to Store Steak Pies
After purchasing your yummy steak pie, you will want to keep it as fresh as possible to retain that delicious flavour and get as long of life from your steak pie as possible! Generally, the best way to store a steak pie will depend on whether it is fresh or frozen:
Short-term Storage
Typically, steak pies that are bought fresh will be put into short-term storage. This generally means a refrigerator to keep both the pastry and the meat fresh. You can usually keep fresh steak pie for up to 5 days - but it is always advised to check the producer's instructions on the packaging.
Long-term Storage
Long-term storage of steak pies generally refers to frozen steak pies, which can either be both frozen or you can freeze-fresh steak pies. Frozen steak pies can sit in the freezer for up to 3 months, and the producer will always give instructions for the maximum freezing time for each pie.
Reheating Options
Reheating your steak pie is an easy fret, thankfully! There are various ways to reheat a steak pie, such as in the toaster, air fryer or microwave. However, one of the most popular and effective ways of reheating a steak pie is in the oven - cover the pie with some foil and place it in the oven for around 25 minutes or until it is warm through.
How to Serve Steak Pies
Steak pie is generally served as a lunch or dinner meal thanks to its rich flavours and fullness. Steak pie can be served entirely on its own or as part of a meal accompanied by chips, potatoes, vegetables, gravy or anything else you think would taste nice.
