Yum!!
Hearty Beef and Guinness pie!!
I made this recipe the other week and it was 'great success'. Also very easy for those of you with kitchen dyslexia.
Ingredients (3-4 people)
1kg diced chuck steak (stewing steak)
2 diced onions
2 cloves of garlic (or more depending on preference)
olive oil
worcestershire sauce (HP also works, or use both
)
tbl spoon tomato paste
parsley
pepper
1/3 cup of flour
200 ml Guinness
1 cup of beef stock
puff pastry
1 beaten egg
Brown steak in hot oil in batches (must be very hot so that meat seals and does not stew) remove from pot and set aside.
Cook onions and crushed garlic cloves in more oil till golden. Add a touch of stock and then sprinkle in flour and add tomato paste then cook for a minute or so.
Return meat to pan. Add guinness, stock, worcestershire sauce, handful of chopped parsley and cracked pepper. Bring to boil and simmer for around 1 hour (or until sauce has thickened and meat is melt-in-your-mouth)
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Spoon mixture into baking dish. Cut pastry into appropriate size (so that it folds over the edges). Brush pastry with beaten egg and shove in the oven. Bake for about 25 mins, until pastry is golden.
Eat the shit out of it.
edit: you can also add carrots, mushrooms etc to the mixture if you feel like it.
