Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan. Sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture.
Sprinkle the arrowroot starch over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
Pour in the beef broth, coconut aminos, and Paleo ale substitute. Stir to combine.
Add the browned beef back to the pan along with the thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the filling is simmering, prepare the grain-free pie crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, and a pinch of salt.
Add the egg and ghee to the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to form a circle slightly larger than your pie dish.
Transfer the meat filling to a pie dish and carefully lay the crust over the top. Seal the edges by pressing the dough into the rim of the dish.
Cut small slits into the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Paleo-approved steak and ale pie!
