You can buy gluten free pastry in some supermarkets. New World seem to have the best selection. We live in Auckland so are lucky in that we can buy ready made GF pies from Phoenix Gluten Free Bakery Store in Epsom. They also sell pastry separately. And they deliver! http://www.phoenixglutenfree.co.nz/
I tried to make pies from scratch but had difficulty with the pastry - probably more an example of my uselessness than the quality of the pastry. But if you're game then just use a 'normal' pie recipe with GF pastry and make sure your filling is thickened with a GF flour.

Tried the gf pastrys from supermarket, didnt like them. Heard about a place in upper hutt on fb due to other allergies they needed to make a 'special' mix for us and well worth every dolkar spent to have them delivered to our door! http://www.ancientgrains.co.nz/

Steak, cheese and mince have no gluten in them - why not make the filling you like and eat it over rice or over broccoli or over something else gluten free? Why do you get hooked on pastry?
