Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Guinness beer
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Instructions

  1. Coat the beef. Toss the beef chunks in flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Sear the beef. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté veggies. In the same skillet, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
  4. Simmer base. Add tomato paste, thyme, bay leaves, and Guinness to the pan. Stir well and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Pour in the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to release all the browned bits.
  5. Slow cook beef. Return the browned beef to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, until the beef is tender and the gravy has thickened.
  6. Add peas. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Prepare pastry. Roll out the puff pastry to fit your pie dish. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Assemble pie. Pour the beef and gravy mixture into the pie dish. Cover with the puff pastry and press the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry and cut a few slits on the top to release steam.
  9. Brush and bake. Brush the pastry with egg yolk and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
  10. Cool and serve. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cooling the pie for 5 minutes helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
