Plain Steak Pie
Chunky slow-cooked steak in rich gravy under golden flaky pastry. The benchmark Aussie pie, done properly.
Hunter Valley, NSW · since 2020
Every pie starts with the same family recipes we've baked in the Hunter since 2020. Slow-cooked steak in rich gravy, cheese and bacon bubbling on top, The Works crowned with golden mash, and a sausage roll that shatters when you bite into it. Frozen at their best and sent to your door, so a proper pie is never more than an oven away.

Our story
Our pies started behind the counter of our bakeries in the Hunter Valley, where locals queue for a hot steak pie, a cheese and bacon, or The Works with everything piled on top. Every filling is slow-cooked, every lid is golden and flaky, and every pie is made by hand the way it always has been.
The trouble was, you had to be in the Hunter to get one. So we started freezing them at their best, packing them cold and sending them across Australia. Same pies, same recipes, ready in your oven whenever the day runs away from you.
Made slowly, so brekky, lunch and dinner can be quick.
Straight from frozen, no defrosting. Oven: 200°C for 20 minutes, then 180°C for 20 minutes until golden. Air fryer: 170°C for about 25 minutes. Test and confirm your own times before launch.
