Ingredients
  

Beef Filling
  • 2 pounds chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 carrots carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bottle Guinness stout
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
Pie Crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 6 tablespoons ice water more if needed

Method
 

Prepare the Beef Filling
  1. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides.
  2. Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Return the beef to the pot.
  4. Pour in the Guinness and beef broth. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours until the beef is tender.
  6. Stir in frozen peas and remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
Make the Pie Crust
  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Assemble and Bake the Pie
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit the pie dish.
  2. Place the rolled dough in the pie dish and fill with the beef mixture.
  3. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Seal and cut slits for steam.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  5. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
