Pastry can typically be left at room temperature for up to 2 hours before it should be refrigerated to prevent spoilage. If the pastry is unbaked, it can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. For longer storage, unbaked pastry can be frozen for up to 3 months. Always ensure to properly wrap and seal the pastry to maintain its quality.
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.

However, if the pastry has been left out at room temperature for too long or shows signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or discoloration, it should not be consumed. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for thawing and storage to ensure food safety.
