The History of Steak Pies
Tracing back to medieval times, steak pies have been a staple of British cuisine, evolving from a practical meal for labourers to a beloved national dish.
At Mud Foods, we honour this tradition by infusing each pie with history and flavour, ensuring a taste that's both authentic and innovative.

- The Filling: Our pies are filled with slow-cooked, tender chunks of beef, complemented by fresh vegetables and a sumptuous gravy.
- The Seasonings: A carefully selected blend of herbs and spices elevates the flavour, making each bite a symphony of taste.
Popular Varieties of Steak Pies
Our range of steak pies includes:
- Steak and Kidney Pie: A classic combination that’s both hearty and flavourful.

Nutritional Value of Steak Pies
Our pies aren't just delicious; they're nutritional too!
While steak pies may be indulgent, they can also be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
Here are a few reasons why enjoying a steak pie can be a guilt-free pleasure:
Protein
Steak pies are an excellent source of protein, which is essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall health. The beef in steak pies is packed with high-quality protein, providing the amino acids needed for various bodily functions.
Iron
Red meat, such as beef, is a rich source of iron. Iron is a vital mineral that helps carry oxygen to the cells, supports energy production, and plays a role in maintaining a healthy immune system. By enjoying a steak pie, you can increase your iron intake and support your overall well-being.
B Vitamins
Steak pies are also a good source of B vitamins, including vitamin B12, which is essential for the production of red blood cells and the proper functioning of the nervous system. These vitamins are crucial for maintaining good health and vitality.

Cooking Tips for Perfect Steak Pies
Ensure your Mud Foods steak pie is baked to perfection with our expert cooking tips.
Oven Temperature
Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature stated on the packaging. This ensures that the pastry cooks evenly and becomes beautifully golden.
Baking Time
The baking time for steak pies may vary depending on their size and filling. As a general rule, bake the pie until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is piping hot. This usually takes around 30-40 minutes, but it's always best to check the packaging or recipe for specific guidance.
