Savory Beef and Guinness Pies: Cozy winter comfort in every bite. Effortlessly delicious.
Ingredients:
  • 40g plain flour
  • 800g beef chuck steak, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 4 large brown onions, cut into thick wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 440ml Guinness draught beer
  • 375ml beef stock
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 8 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 sheet (25cm) ready-rolled frozen puff pastry
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Steamed peas or beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, season flour with salt and pepper. Toss beef in the seasoned flour. Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over high heat. Brown one-quarter of the beef for 5 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and repeat in 3 more batches.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in the pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the beef, Guinness, beef stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then simmer on very low heat, covered, for 1 1/2-2 hours until beef is tender and sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. 2. Divide the beef mixture into four 1 1/2-cup (375ml) ovenproof dishes. 3. Cut the pastry into quarters and brush lightly with egg. 4. Place a piece of pastry over each dish and make a small slit in the top of each pie. 5. Bake on an oven tray for 15 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden. 6. Serve hot with mashed potatoes and peas or beans.
