Steak pie
Deidree asked for a steak pie recipe and this is a real winner. Its full flavored and really rich with a tender meat filling. Steak pies bought from a supermarket have nothing on these babies, make a whole heap of them and freeze them, you will not be sorry.
What you need
1kg brisket or stewing beef cubed
1 onion finely chopped
3 carrots chopped
340ml Can Guinness ( use Coke as an option)
1 beef stock cube
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Teaspoon mustard
1 Pinch thyme
1 bay leaf
750ml water
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Puff pastry (frozen from a supermarket that has been thawed)
The process
Heat the olive oil in a medium hot pot and brown the meat cubes. Do them in batches so that they do not begin to stew, then remove and set aside.
Add a little more olive oil and cook the onions until they are soft and translucent. Add the Guinness and the stock cube crumbled into the liquid. Let it simmer for a few minutes to dissolve the cube.
Add back the meat, the Thyme, bay leaf, carrots, water, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, give it a good mix to combine, reduce the heat to low, place a lid on the pot and allow it to simmer for 2-2 1/2 hours.
Check the sauce for thickness and leave the lid off and simmer for another 30 minutes if it is too liquid.
Pour the mixture into a casserole or pie dish, cover with the puff pastry and tuck the excess into the sides of the pie dish. Insert a knife into the middle to cut 2 holes.
Brush with some melted butter and place into a 180 Celsius oven for about 20minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Serve with peas and some creamy mash.

This is bussy simmering again in my kitchen right now for the 10 time.
Also a big hit from Graham!
Please try it!!!
I do believe I have a fan
that makes me so happy, thanks Andrieshia
Very similar to a full on guiness pie, my recipe includes: 300ml beef stock, 2 large onions, 2 garlic cloves, 1kg goulash, worcestershire source several table spoons, handfull of sugar, sliced button mushrooms, brown onion gravy powder (1 – 2 sachets). I know mushrooms don’t normally go in a guiness pie, but I like it
Sounds marvelous Devon, thanks for sharing. I think I would also give it a good grind of black pepper for a little heat. Have a fabulous weekend G
Looks delicious. Can I prepare the mixture in a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time?
Hi kevin, sure you can but the longer the better, even in a pressure cooker give it a bit longer than you normally would to make sure it’s very tender. Cheers G
