Can you use stir-fry beef in a pie?

You can absolutely use stir-fry beef in a pie! It's a great way to add a savory and flavorful filling to your pie. Here's how you can do it:

1. Prepare the stir-fry beef:

* Follow your favorite stir-fry recipe, ensuring the beef is cooked through.

* You can add your preferred vegetables like onions, peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms to the stir-fry.

* Top with another pie crust and crimp the edges.

* Bake according to your pie crust's instructions.

Tips:

* You can use leftover stir-fry beef for this pie.

* To make the pie more flavorful, add a sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.

* If you're using a store-bought pie crust, make sure it's completely thawed before filling.

* Serve the pie hot with a side salad.
