Steak & Guinness Pie
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
12 inch Pie pastry
1 to 2 pounds of Round steak
1 tablespoon of Flour
1 tablespoon of Brown sugar
1 tablespoon of Raisins
5 medium size onions
1 bottle of Guinness stout (not the ‘draught’ variety)
8 slices of bacon
3 tablespoon of shortening/butter
Some chopped parsley
Directions:
Dice the steak, cover with flour and brown, with the bacon, in a large cast iron skillet on a medium heat using the butter. Peel and chop the onions and brown over a good heat. Add to the meat in a casserole dish or enamel dutch oven. Add raisins and brown sugar and Guinness. Cover the dish, simmer and cook over a lowish heat for 2.5 hours. Add water if the gravy mixture starts to thicken excessively. Cover a pie dish with half of the pastry and bake. Add the meat and gravy mixture when cooked and place the remaining pastry on top and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with potatoes and vegetables.
