We do end up with a rather large amount of leftovers after a feast like Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas, but, in my case, I tend to have leftovers around even after a simple everyday dinner. But then, I'd rather have leftovers than not enough food.

I have always liked the idea of a traditional Sunday Roast too. And lately we have stuck to it, to everyone's delight. What's not to like: a big juicy roast with its golden roasties, and yummy veggies. Perfection, isn't it?

And as yummy the roast dinner is, the leftovers can always be transformed into absolutely delicious dishes that everybody will love. My Leftover Roast Beef Cottage Pie and Leftover Roast Beef Curry are 2 recipes that we wolved down in no time, and, as predicted, this leftover beef pie had the same amazing results.

I pretty much used whatever veggies I had in my fridge and freezer -  and with these uncertain times, I always tend to stock up on frozen veggies, they are so handy in so many dishes.

Mixed veggies are really good, otherwise just use whatever else you have. I also added potatoes and mushrooms, but again, if you have any other fresh vegetables, do use them.

How to make the filling for the leftover beef pie

If traditionally pies are made with shortcrust pastry, the flaky puff pastry is a pretty good substitute - even little ones will love it, so, why not! It's quick and easy to use, and, if like me, you use the ready-rolled one, your job is even easier.

  • chop the mushrooms and green onions, peel and chop the garlic
  • meat the butter, add the olive oil, and add the mushrooms, garlic and green onions, and give them a good stir
  • gently fry until the mushrooms are golden brown
  • add the frozen veggies, chopped potatoes, and cubed leftover beef

  • pour in the beef stock/broth, and leave to cook for 15 minutes until the veggies are tender
  • mix the cornflour (corn starch) with milk, add it to the pan and mix well to get a sauce
  • leave to cool down completely

NOTE! It is crucial that you cool down the filling first, otherwise the puff pastry will be all soggy, rather than flaky and golden

Baking the pie

Once the filling has cooled down, add it to an ovenproof dish, brush the edges with beaten egg, and top with the puff pastry. Simply cut it around the edges of the dish to make a perfect seal.

If you like, you can cut out all sorts of patterns to make the pie prettier, but obviously, that is totally optional. Brush the pie with more beaten egg, and use a short knife to make a few cuts in the pastry for the steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes or until golden and flaky. It's that easy! If you use shortcrust pastry, you will be using it in exactly the same way - the baking time might be slightly different, but do keep an eye on it. Do give it a try!
