Beef and Guinness Pie

Best Beef and Guinness Pie you’ll ever taste! Rich, full of flavors and ready in 90 minutes!

We are talking pie today.

For so many reasons…. Next week is British Pie Week, say yes! to pies 🙂 St Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and a good, hearty pie is a must and mostly, because this Beef and Guinness pie it’s the best pie ever!

Beef and Guinness Pie

Tender chunks of delicious beef, button mushrooms, carrots, shallots simmering in a rich, reduced thick Guinness sauce and golden puff pastry. 

And the sauce…OMG the sauce!

I am not a huge sauce fan, I don’t think anyone heard me talking about a sauce, like ever… but yesterday I drove everyone crazy…couldn’t stop talking about this amazing, rich Guinness sauce.

Beef and Guinness Pie

Best part about this pie, apart from the sauce, is that will cook in just 90 minutes.

Most recipes I have looked at require quite a long time (like 3-4 hours) to cook the beef. I didn’t have that many hours to cook my beef, at least I didn’t have them yesterday. Luckily, I didn’t have to wait for that long and my Beef and Guinness pie was just as delicious as it could be. The beef was really tender and all the flavors were just spot on!

I made individual size pies as I was just dying to try my new Robert Gordon‘s mini bakeware set I bough recently, but you can bake it as a big, whole pie if you prefer.

I made a vegan Guinness stew recently and did some research in old cookbooks/ Was surprised by how many recipes called for making a pie. Makes sense but didn't realize it was a popular thing. Looking at yours I can see why. It looks delish!

Fabulous! These would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day dinner. With a pint of Guinness, of course.
