- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180 fan) Roll out the pastry on a lightly-floured surface to at least 5cm (2in) larger than the top of a pudding or pie dish. Cut out a circle, and then score it. Spoon the meat mixture into the bowl and add pieces of Stilton. Wet around the top of the dish, place a collar of pastry around, made from trimmings, and then put on the lid. Seal the edges well; tuck the excess pastry under the rim.

GUINNESS PIE
Beef in dark, silky gravy composed of fat and reduced stout, flecked with tender vegetables, covered in pastry: This is a dish that delivers good cheer and contentment in equal measure. We built it out of advice and instruction from the British chefs Jamie Oliver (the stew) and Fergus Henderson (the pastry). Eating it - salty and rich, buttoned with sweetness - will occasion thoughts of a coming walk or a nap on the couch with the dog. You'll want some red wine to drink. It's awesome.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large, ovenproof pan fitted with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are dark in color and the moisture released by them has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
- Season the beef pieces all over with salt and pepper. Add the beef, flour and rosemary to the pan and cook over high heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
- Add enough Guinness to just cover the beef. Cover the pan and put it in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and stir. If using trotter gear, stir it in now. Return to the oven and cook for 1 hour more. If it remains thin, set the pan over medium-low heat, remove the lid and reduce the liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using Cheddar, fold in about half.
- While the stew is cooking, prepare the pastry: sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, quickly work the butter into the dough until it is the texture of coarse meal. Add ice water, a splash at a time, until a firm dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin, roll to the thickness of a computer mouse pad. Pour the stew into an 8-inch-square, 2-inch-high Pyrex dish or a deep 9-inch pie pan. If using Cheddar, scatter the remaining cheese across the top. Place the dough on top of the pie and pinch it closed around the edges using the tines of a fork, then slash the center lightly with a knife. Brush with the egg yolk, place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is puffy and golden.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pat beef dry. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add beef, turning to coat, then shake off excess and transfer to a plate. Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart ovenproof heavy pot over moderately high heat until just smoking, then brown meat in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes per batch, transferring to a bowl.
- Add onion, garlic, and water to pot and cook, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot and stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beef with any juices accumulated in bowl, broth, beer, Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, and thyme and bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven. Braise until beef is very tender and sauce is thickened, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard thyme and cool stew completely, uncovered, about 30 minutes. (If stew is warm while assembling pies, it will melt uncooked pastry top.)
- Put a shallow baking pan on middle rack of oven and increase oven temperature to 425°F.
- Divide cooled stew among bowls (they won't be completely full). Roll out pastry dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch square, about 1/8 inch thick. Trim edges and cut dough into quarters. Stir together egg and water and brush a 1-inch border of egg wash around each square. Invert 1 square over each bowl and drape, pressing sides lightly to help adhere. Brush pastry tops with some of remaining egg wash and freeze 15 minutes to thoroughly chill dough.
- Bake pies in preheated shallow baking pan until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400°F and bake 5 minutes more to fully cook dough.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and brown the beef stew meat on all sides, about 10 minutes; set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the bacon just until it begins to brown; stir in the onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and sugar. Cook the vegetables until soft and browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.
- Stir in the flour until smoothly incorporated, and gradually mix in the Irish stout beer and beef stock. Mix in the thyme, bay leaves, and the reserved cooked beef. Cover, and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Remove the cover, turn the heat up to medium, and let the stew boil until slightly thickened, about 15 more minutes. Mix cornstarch with water, and stir into the stew; let simmer for 30 more minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Spread the filling into a 9-inch pie dish; trim the puff pastry into a 10-inch circle, and place on top of the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork, sealing it to the dish; cut 2 steam vents into the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:
- Put beef, garlic, thyme, peppercorns and Guinness into a bowl. Cover and marinate for 2-3 hours (preferably overnight). Take out the beef, pat dry and toss in the flour (strain the marinade and keep the liquid). Heat some oil in a large casserole and brown beef all over in batches - you want it to colour, not stew. Remove beef to a plate. Brown shallots in the casserole, then return beef, mushrooms and marinade to pan. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours or until beef is tender (or cook in oven on 160°C). Cool slightly. Heat the oven to 400. Roll the pastry to the thickness of a $2 coin. Cut around the tops of 4 pie dishes (or use one big one). Divide the filling between the dishes, brush a little egg around the rims and top with pastry. Trim the edges, then brush more egg over the top. Cook for 35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. For the Shortcrust Pastry: 400g = flour salt 100g = butter 100g = lard/crisco 4-6 tbsp cold water to mix Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut fat into cubes and add this to flour. Use fingertips to rub the fat into the flour until the mixutre resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the water very gradually stirring it with a knife. When dough just sticks together, knead it lightly until it forms a ball. Wrap in cling film and allow to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes or up to 2 days.
BEEF AND STILTON PIE
Slightly adapted pie originally from the Hairy Bikers, posted here so that I don't lose it. Prep time includes 3 hours marinading time, but ideally marinade overnight. I intend to try it cooking the filling in a slow cooker but haven't got round to it yet.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a dark stout beer like Guinness. It will add a rich, malty flavor to the pie.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A sharp cheddar or a creamy blue cheese would both be great substitutes for the Stilton.
- If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry, you can use a store-bought sheet of puff pastry instead. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before using.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Serve the pie hot with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Beef, Guinness, and Stilton pie is a classic British dish that is perfect for a hearty meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this pie a try.
