Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds round steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 ounces lard
8 slices bacon, finely chopped
5 onions, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place steak cubes onto a plate and sprinkle with flour.

  • Stir Irish stout beer, parsley, raisins, and brown sugar into steak mixture. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened and steak is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove casserole dish from oven and increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a deep-dish 9-inch pie plate with a pie crust and bake in the preheated oven until crust is partially cooked and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon cooked steak filling into the partially-baked pie crust.
  • Cover steak filling with second pie crust; pinch the top crust against the bottom crust to seal tightly.
  • Bake pie until top crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE - JAMIE OLIVER



Steak and Guinness Pie - Jamie Oliver image

A traditional steak and Guinness pie done by my favorite British chef, Jamie Oliver. This is made particularly easy by using puff pastry for the top pie layer! If you want to skip the puff pastry layer, you could serve this as a normal stew. The herbs listed are just a suggestion. Jamie typically leaves the amount and type up to the cooks' personal tastes. He suggests a "handful". I did change the recipe a little bit from his, due to personal preferences. Feel free to substitute out the Guinness and use beef stock instead. Pure comfort food. :)

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs stewing beef, diced
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons flour (heaping)
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
2 -3 carrots, peeled and chopped (depending on size)
2 -3 potatoes, peeled and chopped (depending on size)
fresh thyme (fresh herbs, pick leaves and add about a handful) or bay leaf (fresh herbs, pick leaves and add about a handful)
2 cups Guinness stout (Can substitute the Guinness for beef stock) or 2 cups other dark stout beer (Can substitute the Guinness for beef stock)
28 ounces diced tomatoes
1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted (1 sheet from a 1 lb. 2 oz. package)
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Season your beef generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and toss around until all pieces are well coated.
  • Heat olive oil, over med.-high heat, in a large casserole type pan and brown the meat. Make sure to not crowd your meat. You may do this in two batches, if necessary.
  • Add the onion and cook for 1 more minute. Then add the carrots, potatoes and fresh herbs. Cook for another 4 minutes. Add the Guinness and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Stir and turn down the heat to simmer. Simmer this mixture for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. The sauce should be thick and intensely flavored. Season if needed.
  • To make pies:.
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put your meat filling into a large, round baking dish. You could also make individual pies. Any high-sided round ovenproof bowl is fine.
  • Roll out the pastry, dusting with flour as you go, until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a large circle (or individual circles for smaller servings) - about 1/2 inch bigger than the top of your bowl. Brush the rim(s) of the bowl with the beaten egg, then place the pastry circle(s) on top, pushing the excess pastry down the outside of the bowl to secure. Lightly score the top of the pastry in a criss-cross manner and brush with more of the beaten egg.
  • Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible results. Opt for high-quality steak, Irish stout, and vegetables.
  • Brown the meat and vegetables: Browning the meat and vegetables before adding them to the pie enhances their flavor and creates a richer, more complex dish.
  • Use a good quality Irish stout: The stout is a key ingredient in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a stout that is dark and flavorful, with a slightly bitter taste.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The steak should be cooked to your desired doneness, but be careful not to overcook it, as this will make it tough.
  • Let the pie rest before serving: After baking, let the pie rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful steak and Irish stout pie is a perfect meal for a cold winter night. The combination of tender steak, rich stout, and savory vegetables creates a dish that is both comforting and delicious. Serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
