Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion (diced)
- 2 carrots (sliced into rounds)
- 2 celery stalks (diced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1.5 cups Guinness stout beer
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (leaves only)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper, then toss them with the flour until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches, ensuring the pieces are browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add butter to the pot. Once melted, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot, then stir in the Guinness, beef stock, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Let it braise for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let the filling cool slightly. Discard the bay leaf.
Transfer the beef mixture to a pie dish, ensuring it is evenly spread across the bottom.
Roll out the puff pastry and lay it over the pie dish, trimming any excess edges. Press the edges down to seal and crimp as desired.
Combine the beaten egg with milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Steak Pie with Guinness!
