We’re often asked what the perfect meal is for post-training or match recovery, and so we’ve adopted here a steak pie that Jason produced first for the Leeds Rhinos rugby team and then for his local club in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.
The pie takes a while to put together, though you can prep in batches and then put them together for the final cook in the oven. You can also make this in bulk (this is for a 12-person serving) and either eat through the week or freeze.
Please note, the portion sizes are purposefully high in calories to help replenish post exercise, if you require a smaller portion, simply split a regular one in half.
Star of the show here is the protein-rich beef which helps rebuild tired muscles, as well as the slow-release carbs from the wholemeal and flaxseed pastry.
The veggies included were chosen to maximise their antioxidant value to also aid with protecting the immune system and aiding with recovery.
