Standing elegantly tall and proud is this Phyllo Steak and Potato Pie. A pie wrapped in flaky phyllo dough and loaded with meat, potato, vegetables and creamy goat cheese inside. It is a complete meal on its own and  fantastic pie to go with Garlic and Cheese Mashed Potato and any of your favorite salad.

This is one wonderful thick, tall and filling pie perfect for brunch or dinner. I often make dessert pies because I simply like the combination of buttery flaky crust and sweet thick fruit filling. I’m kind of obsessed with them especially during Summer when fresh fruits are in abundance. I had never made a full size savory pie like this, most of the time I made the hand pie or pocket pies like my Mushroom Hand Pies. I like that they are in almost bite size, and they are pretty easy for pack and go snack.

This is the opposite of a hand pie. This pie is kind of big. tall and thick, not bite size at all but I wouldn’t mind having this one.

Make it Vegetarian

This pirecan easily be transformed to a vegetarian pie. Simply remove the beef and add more potato or vegetables of your choice. I would recommend adding sliced sauted mushroom to replace the beef.

What is Phyllo Pastry?

Filo or phyllo is a very thin sheets of dough commonly used for making pastries such as baklava. Filo-based pastries are made by layering many sheets of filo brushed with oil or butter; sometimes stuffed with meat or veggie, or just a layer of the filo dough. The pastry is then baked until flaky and crunchy.

Tips for Handling Phyllo Dough Sheets

Phyllo dough is more delicate than other pastry dough like pie crust of puff pastry. Because phyllo dough are extremely thin, they have the tendency to easily dry out. Here are few tips to remember when working on phyllo. dough.

1. Thawing: Keep the package close when thawing. You can thaw the phyllo overnight in the refrigerator. Be mindful of the temperature in your kitchen if you decide to thaw it at room temperature as it could get soft easily when it is humid and hot.
2. Handling: Make sure your hands are dry as possible when handling the dough. The sheets are quite thin and using wet hands could make the phyllo stick to your hands
3. Using: Cover the unrolled phyllo parchment paper and a damp towel to keep it moist. Also, cover the rolled phyllo sheets that are on stand to avoid getting dry. When layering, brush each layer with butter or oil.
