• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Guinness stout beer
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp tomato paste

📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the beef until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.

3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

4. Stir in the carrots, celery, and mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.

5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring well to coat evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

6. Slowly pour in the Guinness stout while stirring to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

7. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaf, and the seared beef back into the pot. Stir to combine.

8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened.

9. Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture into a deep pie dish or baking dish. Let cool slightly.

10. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit over the dish. Lay it on top of the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry.

11. Brush the beaten egg over the pastry to ensure a golden crust.

12. Cut a few small slits into the pastry to allow steam to escape.

13. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.

14. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
