Steak and Pepper Pie
A favourite slow-cook recipe among beef enthusiasts is the steak and pepper pie. It is a convenient option when cooking for family and friends. In addition, the ss step means you can start the recipe during the day if you still are working from home and continue working while the meat simmers gently on the stovetop.
You cannot dispute the nutritious goodness that comes with this pie. The grass-fed beef and beef broth within the steak and pepper pie filling provide enough proteins to replenish your cells and support hormone and enzyme production in the body. Additionally, the body converts excess proteins into energy, keeping you warm.
Other essential ingredients include tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, reliable sources of magnesium, zinc, calcium, and vitamins B6 and C.Below is an easy-to-follow recipe for a sumptuous steak and pepper pie.
British Steak and Ale Pie
The British steak and ale pie remains a famous pie recipe. It comprises tender beef cooked with vegetables, mushrooms, garlic, and peas. Additionally, some people add Worcestershire sauce to spice and tenderise the meat.
The beef chunks and mushrooms are the primary protein sources. At Provenir, we recommend grass-fed and grass-finished beef to maximise your beef pie’s protein content.
Many people serve the British steak and ale pie with peas, a rich source of carbs, thiamine, and vitamins. Thus, a serving is enough to meet one meal’s dietary and nutritional needs.

At Provenir, we are also committed to the ‘paddock to plate‘ philosophy. This means we reduce the distance that meat travels to reach your plate as much as possible by using mobile abattoirs on the farms where animals are reared, which is also a more humane option for them.
Minced Beef and Onion Pie
We cannot compile a winter beef pie recipe without including the minced beef and onion pie. It is a go-to recipe when you want to serve your family or friends some comfort food. A handy pro-tip when getting the ingredients for a minced beef pie recipe is to get grass-fed beef; it almost always guarantees tender and juicy pies.
Use beef stock as part of the ingredients to boost your beef pie’s nutritional value. Beef stock often contains calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, integral to everyday body functions. In addition, other essential ingredients like olive oil and unsalted butter meet your body’s fat and calorie requirements.

The Provenir Difference in Beef Pies
You might wonder why we emphasise grass-fed beef when preparing beef pies. Here’s why! Grass-fed cattle guarantees the highest-quality meat you can get. Animals are not naturally adapted to eat high-grain diets; such feeds disrupt their digestive systems, causing unnecessary anguish. In addition, Provenir focuses its supply change on producing ethically produced beef; we do not compromise animal welfare for wider profit margins.
Provenir also guarantees 100 per cent on-farm beef production. Most meat processors transport animals from the farm to the abattoir. The process often takes several hours or involves multiple steps that stress the animals.
Disrupting an animal’s environment, altering its feed, or transporting it over long distances often undermines meat quality. For example, prolonged stress induces muscle tension and the release of stress hormones, altering the resultant beef’s tenderness and flavour.
The Takeaway!
Provenir is your go-to grass-fed beef butcher for all your grass-fed, grass finished beef steaks and minced beef needs. We guarantee 100 per cent grass-fed, grass-finished, on-farm, and ethically produced beef to make the most delicious beef pie this winter.
