Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds beef stewing steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Guinness beer
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Heat a large ovenproof pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Dust the beef cubes with flour, shaking off any excess, and sear in the pot until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Return the beef to the pot, and pour in the Guinness beer and beef stock.
Add the thyme, bay leaf, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Remove the pot from the oven and allow the filling to cool slightly. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Transfer the beef mixture to a pie dish, removing the bay leaf.
Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling, trimming any excess and crimping the edges to seal.
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden crust.
Cut a small slit in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape, then bake the pie in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Steak and Guinness Pie!
