Cook Time:
Irish Guinness enhances flavorful beef pies with golden pastry.
Ingredients:
  • oil, for frying
  • 1.25 kg beef blade or beef chuck steak, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 100g plain flour
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 400ml Guinness
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 22.20 gm tomato paste
  • salt and cracked black pepper
  • 4 frozen ready-rolled puff pastry sheets, thawed
Instructions:
  • In a large deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, sear the meat in batches until golden brown, then set aside.
  • Place the pan back on the heat and drizzle in the aromatic olive oil. Sauté the fragrant onion and garlic until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to release any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.
  • Add the meat back to the pan along with the bay leaf, thyme, Guinness, stock, and tomato paste. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thickens.
  • Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Lightly grease four 1 1/2-cup baking dishes. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the dishes and let it cool for a bit. Cut out pastry circles with a small plate and place them over the filling. Trim any extra pastry with a sharp knife. Bake until the pastry is golden, around 20 minutes.
