St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, or weekend shall I say. In Northern Ireland not everyone will celebrate it, but we like any excuse for great food, especially when Phil does the cooking! This Guinness pie is delicious and a family favourite. Phil is doing a little guest posting for me today and sharing his favourite Guinness pie recipe with you.

Beef & Guinness Pie
Guinness Pie Ingredients
- 2 large red onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, diced small or minced
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 2 celery sticks, sliced. You can also use the leaves for extra flavour
- Mushrooms of your choice, sliced
- 1 Kg of stewing beef or steak, cut into approx. 2cm cubes
- Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- sea salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 440 ml Guinness (a must)
- 2 heaped TBSP of flour
- 150 gr Cheddar cheese, grated (we have a child with a cow’s milk allergy so we use goat’s cheese and it also works well)
- 170 gr ready-made all-butter puff pastry (and another 500gr if you want a pastry base as well as the top)
- 1 egg, beaten
- olive oil
I prepare and marinate the filling a day before to give it a strong rich flavour. I’m rubbish at making pastry so using the pre-made option suits me well. The vegetables should be cut to size of your personal choice.

I’ll admit, I’m not big on meat pies, but this one rates as one of hubby’s best recipes!

It’s definitely a ‘manly’ meal, but I’ll admit, I really liked it too! Well…except for the after-meal clean-up 😉

Guinness is an acquired taste, but it really brings a richness and depth to the stew.
