To prevent pastry from sinking in a steak pie, ensure that the pastry is properly chilled before use, as warm pastry is more likely to shrink. Additionally, blind bake the pastry for a short time before adding the filling; this helps firm it up and creates a barrier against moisture. You can also use pie weights or dried beans during blind baking to keep the pastry from puffing up or shrinking. Finally, avoid overworking the dough, as this can develop gluten and lead to shrinkage.
