1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

2. Step 2

   In a medium saucepan, heat things up by browning the cubed sirloin steak on all sides.

3. Step 3

   Once it’s beautifully seared, add enough water to nearly cover the meat and bring it to a lively boil.

4. Step 4

   Then, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and full of flavor.

5. Step 5

   When the time is up, transfer the tender meat to a large mixing bowl.

6. Step 6

   Shred it slightly with a fork and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, allowing those flavors to meld together.

7. Step 7

   In a separate saucepan, combine the rich beef broth with diced carrots and cubed potatoes.

8. Step 8

   Cook this mixture over medium heat until the vegetables are almost tender, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Step 9

   While that’s happening, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for the final bake.

    Once the carrots and potatoes are just about done, add them to the bowl with the shredded beef, making sure to leave the broth behind in the pan.

11. Step 11

    Stir in some thawed peas for a pop of color and sweetness.

12. Step 12

    In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of water with cornstarch until it’s well combined.

13. Step 13

    Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps.

14. Step 14

    Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens into a luscious gravy.

15. Step 15

    Now it’s time to assemble your pie! Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts according to the package instructions.
