Beef, Mushroom & Guinness Pie

Video Description

This is a pie we made in my bakery for years in the UK and here in Spain too. It's real comfort food at it's best. In the video I used a shortcrust base with traditional Puff Pastry top, however, you can use whatever pastry you prefer. Recipe: Ingredients 1 kg chuck steak you may know it as crop steak or braising steak, in Spain look for Estofado , cut into 2.5cm cubes. 2 tbsp vegetable oi l preferably NOT olive oil 2 cloves garlic chopped 1 onion medium finely chopped 1 carrot finely chopped 2 sticks celery finely chopped 3 large carrots halved lengthwise then cut into 1.5cm pieces 2 tbsp plain flour 300 ml Guinness or red wine. If you don’t want to use alcohol simply add extra stock. 500 ml beef stock Fresh, Carton or cubes will do. 2 - 3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme 2 bay leaves fresh or dried 200 g bacon or panceta diced I use unsmoked streaky bacon 300 - 400 g mushrooms cut into quarters, I like to use Portobello mushrooms but any will do. 2 sheets puff pastry you can buy this ready rolled in all supermarkets (enough to cover you particular pie dish) 1 egg yolk for glazing the top of the pie. PLEASE NOTE: On my website the recipe can be scaled to suit your gusts. Change the number of servings and the ingredients will automatically change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you would like to support my work, use either of these two links: My Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/Mr_Pauls_Pantry My PayPal Donate Page: https://mr-pauls-pantry.com/donations/ __________________________________________________________ My Website https://mr-pauls-pantry.com/ My Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/MrPaulsPantry/ Full recipe of this and many of my other recipes are at my website: https://mr-pauls-pantry.com/
