Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs stewing beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2-3 medium-sized carrots, chopped
  • 2-3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can Guinness beer (14.9 oz)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the stewing beef to the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
  5. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
  6. Add the sliced mushrooms and tomato paste to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Pour in the Guinness beer and beef broth. Add the bay leaves and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
  8. Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 2-2.5 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  10. Remove the pot from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
  11. While the pie filling is cooling, roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it’s large enough to cover the top of the pot.
  12. Cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
  13. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pastry.
  14. Place the pastry on top of the pot, pressing the edges down to seal it.
  15. Return the pot to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  16. Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  17. Garnish the pie with some fresh parsley and serve hot.
