Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 kg beef chuck cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for browning
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 500 ml Guinness beer
  • 500 ml beef stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
Pastry
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 125 g butter chilled and cubed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cold water as needed
  • 1 egg beaten, for glazing

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides.
  2. Add the onions, garlic, and carrots, cooking until softened.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, then pour in the Guinness and beef stock.
  4. Add thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1.5 hours until the beef is tender.
Make the Pastry
  1. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Add cold water gradually until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Preheat the oven to 200?C (400?F). Roll out the pastry and line a pie dish.
  2. Fill the pastry with the beef filling, then cover with more pastry, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
  3. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
