McDonald’s Japan is now serving up Beef Stew Pie
Katherine Pendrill — January 2, 2022 — Lifestyle
Just in time for cold winter days, McDonald's Japan has begun serving up a new Beef Stew Pie.
While McDonald's has been serving up pies for decades, these pies are usually of the sweet variety – apple, strawberry, chocolate. Now, the brand has introduced a savory version for Japanese customers to enjoy. Described as "perfect for winter," the new Beef Stew Pie features a delicious mixture of slow-cooked beef simmered with potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables. The savory stew is then wrapped up in a crispy turnover-style pie crust that can be enjoyed on the go.
The new Beef Stew Pies can currently be found at participating McDonald's locations across Japan for a limited time for the price of 180 Yen each.
