For a richer flavor, consider using beef suet instead of butter. A splash of brandy or dark rum can be added to the filling for an extra layer of warmth. The filling can be made well in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for longer storage. Ensure the filling is thoroughly cooled before adding it to the pie crust to prevent a soggy bottom. If the top crust starts to brown too quickly, tent the pie with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

May 30, 2025Great recipe! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone raved about it. The combination of sweet, tart, and savory flavors is simply irresistible.

May 9, 2025This recipe is a gem! The mincemeat filling is incredibly flavorful and complex. The week-long refrigeration really allows the flavors to meld together. It's a bit of a process, but totally worth it for a special occasion.

Oct 24, 2024I was hesitant about the steak, but it adds a wonderful depth to the pie. I substituted the mixed fruit peel with chopped dried apricots and it worked perfectly. My family loved it!
