How to Make Steak and Guinness Pie

• Cut the sirloin steak into 2 inch chunks and slice the onions.
• Drizzle both with olive oil.
• In a bowl combine the brown sugar, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the steak and toss to coat well.
• Peel and dice potatoes, dice celery and slice carrots, thinly.

• Prepare a grill fire to 350°.
• Cook the steak chunks and onion over indirect fire with the grill closed for 5 minutes.
• Turn the steak and onions and continue to cook another 7 – 10 minutes until steak reaches 140°.
• Remove from grill. Cool 10 minutes. Dice the steak and onions and set aside.
• Alternately, cook the steak and onions in a dutch oven or large pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, until seared on all sides, about 15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a dutch oven or deep pan until crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
• Cook the carrots and celery in the bacon drippings over medium for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until vegetables are softened.
• Remove vegetables and set aside.

• Add additional bacon drippings or olive oil to the pan with the all purpose flour. Season with salt and whisk continually about 3- 4 minutes until flour starts to brown.
• Pour in Guinness Stout and whisk until combined.
• Whisk in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add diced potatoes to the gravy and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved vegetables.

• Next add in the steak and onions.
• Grate the chocolate into the filling.
• Crumble the bacon and add to the pan, stirring until well combined.

• Remove from heat.

• Spoon the filling into 2 9- inch pie plates.
• Roll the puff pastry out on a lightly floured board.
• Place over the filling and trim the edges.
• Make a few slits in the crust with a sharp knife.
• Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water and brush over the puff pastry.
• Bake the pies for 45 minutes to 1 hour until filling is bubbly and crust is baked through and golden brown.

• Remove from oven and allow to rest about 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes for Pot Pie

• Yield: 2 Pot Pies
• Beef: We used sirloin steak, chuck steak or stew meat will also work for this recipe.
• Bittersweet Chocolate: It may seem odd to add chocolate to the beef pot pie but it cuts the bitterness of the gravy and you never know it’s there. It’s optional of course.
• Vegetables: We used potatoes, carrots, celery and mushrooms. Use any vegetables that you prefer.
• Storage: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat in a covered skillet over medium heat for about 8 – 10 minutes or in an oven safe dish in a 350° oven for 20 minutes.
• To Freeze: Do not brush egg wash over puff pastry before freezing. Wrap pie dish in 2 layers of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. Label and freeze up to 3 months.
• To Bake: When you are ready to bake, remove from freezer. Remove plastic wrap and foil and brush with egg wash. Bake  for 1 – 1 ½ hours until puff pastry is browned and filling is heated through.
