Ingredients
- 750 g (1½lbs) chuck steak
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 medium carrots peeled and finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves crushed
- 400 g (14oz) chopped tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 prigs fresh thyme
- 600 ml (20fl oz) Guinness
- 1 cup Beef stock/Beef broth
- salt and pepper to taste

- 500 g (1lb) mushrooms halved
- 400 g (14oz) puff pastry thawed

Instructions
- Cut the chuck steak into bite size pieces then pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Brown the beef in batches.
- Once browned, remove from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, fry the onion, carrot, garlic, bay leaf and thyme for 2 minutes then pour in the tomatoes.
- Pour in the Guinness and beef stock then bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper and sugar then add the beef back in the pot, along with any of its resting juices.
- Cover with a lid and reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 2-3 hours or until the beef is tender.
- While the stew is cooking, fry the mushrooms in a splash of oil until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the mushrooms to the stew once the beef is soft. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Transfer the steak and mushroom stew to an oven-proof casserole or pie dish.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry until ½cm thick. Place on-top of the stew and crimp the edges.
- With the tip of a knife make a small air vent in the center of the pastry. Brush with egg wash.
- Bake the pie at 180ºC/350ºF for 25 minutes or until the pastry is cooked, golden and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
