Finding Britain's best supermarket steak pie is serious business.

Pies have been part of English food culture since the 13th century. Steak and ale pies are a classic choice.

I tested every supermarket steak pie to help you find the best one.

I tried pies from M&S, Waitrose, Aldi, Sainsbury's, and Tesco.

I looked for flaky pastry, lots of steak, and good taste.

Sainsbury's steak pie was a close second.

M&S is a well-known British brand, but its pie was a letdown.

The M&S pie had too much salt.

My M&S pie was burnt when I took it out of the oven.

The packaging said to cook it for 30 minutes at 180C fan.

The M&S pie was burnt.

The M&S pie had a strong flavor, but the pastry was not good.

The pastry was not crumbly enough.

Waitrose's pie was the best.

The pastry was crumbly and flavorful, and the steak was hearty.

Each bite had a lot of steak.

The Waitrose pie cooked perfectly in the oven.

It was a great meal for two people with some vegetables.

I tried the big four supermarkets' steak and ale pies.

Aldi's steak bake was not good.

The pastry was okay, but the filling had no taste.

My friend said it was like a hug from a relative you don't like.

Aldi's pie was cheap, but not worth it.

One pie had a strong ale taste and crumbly pastry.

The filling was good, with a lot of steak and gravy.

Another pie was average, but the pastry was golden and crispy.

One pie had a soggy bottom, but was still a good choice.

One pie had a delicate flavor with herbs and spices.

It cooked well and looked good.

I know which pie is the best and which is the worst.

Aldi's pie was the worst, and Tesco's was not much better.

M&S and Sainsbury's were in the middle.

Waitrose's pie was the best and not too expensive.

It had great flavor and was a good size.

I highly recommend Waitrose's pie for a budget-friendly treat.
