Yield:
8 to 10 servingsIngredients
3 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons oil, divided
7 shallots, sliced thin
4 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
1/3 cup flour
2 cups Guinness (or other stout, ale, or dark beer)
2 cups beef stock
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2-1/4 cups halved baby carrots
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed briefly under cold water
3 large portobello mushroom caps, chopped medium
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried)
1-1/2 cups frozen small green peas
Piecrust to cover 13×9-inch pan or store-bought puff pastry, cut into strips for a lattice
Egg wash: 1 whole egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim excess fat from beef. Put cubed beef in a bowl and toss with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over high heat. Add half the cubed meat and sear until browned on all sides; remove with slotted spoon and place in a separate bowl. Add rest of oil to Dutch oven and repeat steps with second batch of meat.
Turn heat down to medium; add shallots to pan and cook until golden. Add flour and cook 3 minutes, then add Guinness, stock, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute, then return meat to pan along with carrots and porcini mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium low and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.
Stir in portobello mushrooms, thyme, and peas; cook 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Pour into baking dish and let cool in refrigerator. When filling has cooled slightly, roll out crust. Lay crust over filling, folding edges over as needed or use puff pastry to create lattice pattern on top of the dish. Brush crust generously with egg wash, cut steam vents, and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
This is the best !!!
This is a MONSTER dish, real “soul food.” Great on a cold winter day.
It would help to know what temperature to bake the dish at. Otherwise, an excellent dish.
A very good recipe. I noticed there was no oven temperature listed. 350 degrees works just fine.
This is SO good! It helps that my wife makes a good pie crust, but the flavor of the sauce is wonderful. It’s become a family favorite. Very hearty and great on a cold or rainy day. Goes great with, well, Guinness!
I made this originally for St. Pat’s Day, but everyone liked it so much, I’ve made it again. I used puff pastry for the crust with great results. For the vegetarians in my family, I used double the mushrooms instead of the beef and vegetable broth. Trader Joe’s mushrooms already cut in the bag are nice and thick and convenient to use.
We made this over the weekend. I would get rid of the tomato paste and use less sugar next time. I also will prepare in advance so that it can sit longer. My sister is going to make it for her son and put mash potatoes on top for his crew on the fishing boat.
The oven temp is listed in the first sentence.
Yeah but I certainly wouldn’t turn the oven on before I start everything else (simmer for 45 minutes!) unless you just want to heat the house. I’d start preheating while the dish is cooling in the refrigerator.
Meat pie sounds great.
Sugar? In the name of all that’s holy, why?
can you freeze it
Put garlic in with shallots. And Total time is definitely off since the cook time alone is 45 simmering and 30-35 baking. Overall good but prefer Guinness stew.
I noticed garlic was omitted in the instructions…definitely would put it in with shallots and be careful not to burn garlic.
Can I cut recipe in half? Its only 2 of us 🙂 Would it still work?
Can I cut recipe in half–it’s just the 2 of us!
