About Steak and cheese pie
Steak and cheese pie is a savory dish that originated in British and New Zealand cuisines, renowned for its hearty and comforting flavors. It typically combines tender beef, rich gravy, and melted cheese encased in a flaky pastry crust. The pastry provides carbohydrates for energy, while the steak and cheese contribute proteins and fats. A typical serving offers macronutrients such as protein needed for muscle maintenance and fat for energy, although it may be high in saturated fat and sodium due to the cheese and pastry. Steak is also a source of essential micronutrients like iron and zinc, whereas cheese provides calcium and vitamin B12, supporting bone health and neurological function. While flavorful, moderation is key when enjoying this dish, as it may be calorie-dense and less suitable for those monitoring fat or sodium intake.
Health Benefits
- Iron from steak supports red blood cell production and prevents anemia.
- Cheese provides calcium, necessary for strong bones and teeth.
- Vitamin B12 in cheese aids in nerve function and DNA synthesis.
