Directions
Check out this winter warming recipe for a Steak and Guinness Pie. Made with Lamb and Guinness, it's easy to make and a great tasting pie.
The filling
- Roughly chop the Bacon, Onions, Carrots and Garlic cloves and fry for 5 minutes with a little Oil in a casserole dish.
- Add in the Stewing Lamb and fry until browned.
- Into the casserole, crumble in the Stock Cube and add the Thyme by running your fingers along the sprigs so the leaves fall in.
- Finally, pour in the Guinness and leave to simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours (or until the sauce has thickened nicely).
The pie
- Once the filling is ready, take the ready mix Shortcrust Pastry and prepare according to the instructions on the pack. Use the Flour to keep it from sticking.
- Take 2/3 of the dough, roll it out, then line the inside of an oven dish with the pastry.
- Pour the filling into the pie then roll out the remaining 1/3 of pastry and place over the top of the filling.
- Trim the pastry where necessary then press a folk around the edge of the pie top in order to make a seal.
- Brush the top of the pie with the Egg Yolk then cook in the oven on 180c for between 30-45 minutes (or until golden brown).
