Steak and Guinness Pie

Mmmm... This is absolutely perfect for a rainy Irish day. Or sunny St. Patrick's. OK, it's just good about any time... And it has Guinness...

Don't forget to turn on some Irish pub songs and invite friends.

Yet another great recipe from The Little Big Book of Ireland.

Steak and Guinness Pie

Fab Food Friday 088

8 slices bacon
2 pounds round steaks
1 T flour (seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper)
5 onions, peeled and chopped
1/3 c raisins (optional)
1 c peas
2-3 T chopped parsley
1 t brown sugar
1 1/3 c Guinness stout
1 sheet puff pastry
Oil

Brown bacon in frying pan. Crumble into small pieces.

Cut steaks into bite size cubes, roll in flour mixture, brown in bacon drippings; add extra oil if necessary. When browned place meat and crunmbled bacon in a cassarole dish.

Sautee onions in the bacon drippings/oil until golden, then add to the meat. Add the raisins, peas, parsley, brown sugar, and Guinness; cover tightly and simmer over low heat for 2- 2 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally and add more Guinness or water if the gravy gets too thick.

Roll out pastry to fit casserole. Place on top of meat mixture and bake according to package directions or until puffed golden.

**You can make the filling ahead of time and reheat just a bit before placing in casserole dish, covering with puff pastry and baking.
