Ingredients for Healthy Steak And Guinness Pie

  • 1.5 lbs beef steak
  • Plain Flour
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • Mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
  • Guinness Stout
  • 1 ½ cups beef stock
  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Milk

How to Make Healthy Steak And Guinness Pie

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1 cup sliced celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Transfer the vegetables to a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. Cut 1.5 lbs beef steak into 1-2 inch pieces.
  4. Coat the beef in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
  5. Add the beef to the frying pan, adding 1 tablespoon more olive oil if needed. Brown the beef on all sides.
  6. Transfer the browned beef to the casserole dish.
  7. In a measuring jug, combine 1 ½ cups beef stock and 1 cup Guinness.
  8. Pour the Guinness mixture over the beef and vegetables in the casserole dish.
  9. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Cover the casserole dish and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  11. After 2 hours, transfer the cooked meat and vegetables to a 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins.
  12. Top with one sheet of store-bought puff pastry.
  13. Brush the pastry with 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk (or use milk only).
  14. Pierce the puff pastry with a fork several times to allow steam to escape.
  15. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  16. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
