Beef and Guiness Pie

Guiness! The meal in a glass! And it adds great flavour to casseroles, stews and pot pies.
Ingredients
2 kg diced chuck steak
3 sliced onions
4 crushed cloves garlic
1 tbs oil
2/3 cup plain flour
400ml Guinness
2 cups beef stock
Ready-rolled puff pastry
1 beaten egg

Method1. Brown 2kg diced chuck steak in hot oil. Set aside. Cook onions and garlic in 1 tbs oil until golden. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 min.

2. Return meant and juices to pan, add 400ml Guinness and 2 cups beef stock. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 2 hours until tender and sauce has thickened.

3. Preheat oven to 200°C. Spoon beef mixture into eight 250ml ovenproof ramekins. Cut out eight circles of ready-rolled puff pastry to cover. Press firmly onto dishes and seal. Brush with 1 beaten egg, place on a tray and bake for 25 minutes until golden.

You can freeze uncooked pies, wrapped in plastic then foil. Defrost before cooking.
Can also be made into one large family size pie simply by placing ingredients in a larger dish.

Enjoy!
