You’re amazing, look at the Slow Cooker Steak and Stilton Pie dishes you’ve made…
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!
Imagine coming home to the irresistible smell of tender beef steak cooked low and slow until it just falls apart. You can leave the filling of this Slow Cooker Steak and Stilton Pie to simmer all day, so you only need to add the filo pastry topping when you get home.
We’ve kept this recipe nice and light by using crispy filo pastry rather than buttery shortcrust. This cuts down on the calories without losing any of the flavour, and keeps this recipe hearty and filling.
You can let your slow cooker do all the hard work here, and then you’ll only need to finish the dish off with a few simple steps before dinnertime. This recipe is comfort food at its best, and it tastes far more indulgent than it really is!
We love to serve this Slow Cooker Steak and Stilton Pie instead of a traditional Sunday roast, with a good dollop of mash and plenty of veg – it’s SO good!
The rich steak filling can also be cooked on the hob if you don’t have a slow cooker. Find the stovetop version of the recipe here.
What diets is this Slow Cooker Steak and Stilton Pie suitable for?
This recipe is not suitable for dairy free or gluten free diets.
Please remember to double check ingredients and preparation methods if cooking for people with allergies.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Slow Cooker Steak and Stilton Pie?
You will need a red wine stock pot to make this recipe. These can be found alongside the stock cubes in most supermarkets. Using a red wine stock pot rather than red wine helps to keep this recipe slimming friendly.
If you prefer, you can substitute the stock pot for 100ml of red wine (just remember to reduce the amount of water used in your beef stock by 100ml so there is not too much liquid in your filling).
If you can’t get hold of a red wine stock pot you can also substitute this for a beef stock cube with a splash of red wine vinegar.

Coat the steak in the flour and add to the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and add to the slow cooker.
Step 3

Add the onions to the slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, remaining stock, stock pot and Henderson’s relish.

Add the crumbled Stilton and stir until melted. Season with some black pepper.
Step 8
Pour into an ovenproof dish, and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Step 9
Cut the filo sheets into strips, scrunch up and place on top of the pie, covering the filling completely. Use a pastry brush to egg wash the top.
Step 10
Place on a baking tray to catch any spills in case the filling bubbles over, and pop in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp. Serve!

When I double the recipe to 8 it doubles the beef stock cubes but it still remains at 300ml of water is this correct?
HollyMonday 5th February 2024
Hey Lorraine, I’ve separated the stock cube and water so this will now alter when changing the portion size, hope that helps!
LizWednesday 16th November 2022
Haven’t got a slow cooker so would it be better cooking in an oven and how long would it take please
HollyMonday 21st November 2022
Hey Liz, we have an oven method for this recipe which you can find HERE

Would you be able to switch the stilton cheese out for a milder crumbly cheese like feta?
SharonMonday 17th October 2022
Hi Beth, although feta is a crumbly cheese, it won’t melt into the gravy like Stilton does. Using feta would also change the flavour of the dish. Hope this helps!
