Healthy Steak And Guinness Pie Recipes

STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Season your beef generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and toss around until all pieces are well coated.
• Heat olive oil, over med.-high heat, in a large casserole type pan and brown the meat. Make sure to not crowd your meat. You may do this in two batches, if necessary.
• Add the onion and cook for 1 more minute. Then add the carrots, potatoes and fresh herbs. Cook for another 4 minutes. Add the Guinness and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Stir and turn down the heat to simmer. Simmer this mixture for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. The sauce should be thick and intensely flavored. Season if needed.
• To make pies:.
• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put your meat filling into a large, round baking dish. You could also make individual pies. Any high-sided round ovenproof bowl is fine.
• Roll out the pastry, dusting with flour as you go, until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a large circle (or individual circles for smaller servings) - about 1/2 inch bigger than the top of your bowl. Brush the rim(s) of the bowl with the beaten egg, then place the pastry circle(s) on top, pushing the excess pastry down the outside of the bowl to secure. Lightly score the top of the pastry in a criss-cross manner and brush with more of the beaten egg.
• Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat.
• Carefully add the beef and sear until it is brown on all sides. Add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and carrots; lower the heat to medium and continue cooking until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are done.
• Stir in the garlic and cook about a minute more. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves and herbes de Provence, stirring until well blended.
• Pour in the beer, wine, and beef broth, stirring well.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer for an hour to an hour and a half. The meat should be very tender. Take off the cover and taste for richness. If it needs more flavor and reducing, simmer for a short while longer uncovered.
• In a small bowl, work the flour into the butter to form a ball. Stir the butter/flour mixture well into the simmering stew to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
• At this point you may cool the stew and refrigerate to use later. If serving right away spoon into a casserole or casseroles, and top with a layer of puff pastry.
• Cutting the Puff Pastry:.
• Lay a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using the lid from your casserole as a template, cut around the puff pastry dough with a knife. Place on top of the casserole before baking.
• Brush the pastry with milk or beaten egg for added color, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven according to package instructions, or until pastry is golden brown. Serve with vegetables on the side (peas, carrots, and mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes).
• Makes about 6 cups (4-6 servings).

STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE

Steps:

• First things first: Chop your onions and carrots if you use any. Try not to cry too much, there's loads of them out there! Then in a large bowl mix 25gr of flour with salt and black pepper. Rinse the beef goulash and drain, then add it to the seasoned flour and have fun tossing it around until every chunk of meat is coated.
• Heat some oil in a pressure cooker and fry the meat for a few minutes until browned. Place the meat back into the 'flour bowl' while you fry the onions/carrots in the same pot for a few minutes.
• When everything is nicely browned (except for the carrots, naturally) tip the meat back into the pot, as well as all the other ingredients for the filling (beer, stock, worcester sauce, tomato puree, sugar).
• Once you've stirred it all together and admired the brown colour, feel free to taste, then put the lid on and cook according to the instructions for you pressure pot. (For me this means heat it up until it starts to whistle, turn the heat down to low, leave it like this for about 30 minutes and then turn the heat off until the pressure subsides (the whistling stops) and it's safe to open.) Be careful!
• While the stew cooks, add flour, salt and fat (whichever you choose) in a bowl and attack it with a cutlery knife or fork. Wildly mash and chop it until it starts to come together, then knead it very briefly so that you end up with a ball of pastry and place it, wrapped up in a plastic bag, into your fridge until the stew is ready.
• As you open the pot, admire the colour once more, have a taste and heat it up to bubble madly until the beer/stock/sauce is reduced to a thick, shiny, dark brown coating on the meat. This probably takes another half hour/up to one hour (depending on how you define 'madly bubbling').
• Once it's reduced to a very sorry state for beer, have another taste (you'll find that you won't need to season anymore AT ALL because it's massively tasty!) AND a) eat it now as a stew with yorkshire puddings and/or mash and/or peas or everything together OR b) leave to cool down and fill into a pie dish (20cm), then pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Once it's reached its temperature, roll out your dough to 3mm and cover the top of your stew. Brush with beaten egg and pierce with a fork several times to allow any steam to get out.
• Bake for around 30 minutes until the crust is browned and starts to show signs of flaking. Admire your work once more as you take it out of the oven and be a proud chef while you burn your tongue as you can't wait any longer to eat it...

BEEF, MUSHROOM AND GUINNESS® PIE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and brown the beef stew meat on all sides, about 10 minutes; set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the bacon just until it begins to brown; stir in the onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and sugar. Cook the vegetables until soft and browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Stir in the flour until smoothly incorporated, and gradually mix in the Irish stout beer and beef stock. Mix in the thyme, bay leaves, and the reserved cooked beef. Cover, and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Remove the cover, turn the heat up to medium, and let the stew boil until slightly thickened, about 15 more minutes. Mix cornstarch with water, and stir into the stew; let simmer for 30 more minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the filling into a 9-inch pie dish; trim the puff pastry into a 10-inch circle, and place on top of the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork, sealing it to the dish; cut 2 steam vents into the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

GUINNESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large, ovenproof pan fitted with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are dark in color and the moisture released by them has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
• Season the beef pieces all over with salt and pepper. Add the beef, flour and rosemary to the pan and cook over high heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
• Add enough Guinness to just cover the beef. Cover the pan and put it in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and stir. If using trotter gear, stir it in now. Return to the oven and cook for 1 hour more. If it remains thin, set the pan over medium-low heat, remove the lid and reduce the liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using Cheddar, fold in about half.
• While the stew is cooking, prepare the pastry: sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, quickly work the butter into the dough until it is the texture of coarse meal. Add ice water, a splash at a time, until a firm dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin, roll to the thickness of a computer mouse pad. Pour the stew into an 8-inch-square, 2-inch-high Pyrex dish or a deep 9-inch pie pan. If using Cheddar, scatter the remaining cheese across the top. Place the dough on top of the pie and pinch it closed around the edges using the tines of a fork, then slash the center lightly with a knife. Brush with the egg yolk, place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is puffy and golden.
