  • Use sirloin steak or ground beef in place of the chuck steak.
  • Use butter in place of olive oil for a richer taste.
  • Use shallots instead of onions for a sweeter taste.
  • Use an equal amount of low sodium beef broth or water in place of the red wine.
  • Use a mixture of your favorite fresh or frozen vegetables, such as mushrooms, pearl onions, broccoli florets, or corn.
  • Use canned biscuits or puff pastry as the topping for your pie instead of pie crust.
  • Use a Merlot, Pinot Noir, or Cabernet Sauvignon.
