This Beef Pot Pie recipe was designed using Stew Meat, which is usually made from chuck roast. This cut of meat is usually rather affordable and convenient since it is already cut into chunks so it just needs to be cut into smaller pieces. However, this cut can also be tougher than other beef cuts especially since it isn’t being cooked for hours in a stew or roast. If you want a more tender piece of beef you can use sirloin steak or top steak, though they are a bit more expensive. Alternatively, you can use ground beef for this dish. It will change the end flavor and look of the pot pie slightly but will work in a pinch. Be sure to drain off any extra grease after browning the ground beef or you will end up with a very greasy pot pie.
