Meaty Rich Beef & Guinness Pie

Guinness Pot Pie, the traditional food for St Patricks Day. This hearty rich Guinness pie is packed full of melt in your mouth beef, smothered in a rich gravy and topped with crisp puff pastry. 

This time of year, I start thinking about warming comfort food. My husband loves a rich, heavy, beef and Guinness pie, especially in the cooler months. This Guinness pot pie recipe is super easy to make because the Thermomix does all the work!

I like to make the beef and Guinness pie in individual serves. You don't need a specific pie dish, once the steak filling has been cooked the beef can be transferred into any oven safe pots. Then simply top with some ready rolled puff pastry. The pies cook for 20 minutes in the oven.

Serving Suggestions for Guinness Pie

1. Whilst the pie is cooking you have the perfect amount of time to cook mashed potato in the Thermomix. Use the automated mashed potato recipe on your Thermomix.
2. Pour a pint of Guinness and sit down to a hearty meal.

Guinness Pot Pie Variation

With a little slimming cheat, this Beef & Guinness Pot Pie can be made lower in calorie. Pot pies only have a pastry lid, so you can feel good knowing that pot pies only have half the pastry of a regular pie.

Further reduce the calories and fat content of this recipe by rolling the pastry lid thinner.

Once you have rolled the pastry to half the original thickness, trace around the pastry with a knife and place the lid on the pie.

Best cuts of Meat for Guinness Pie
