Guiness Pie-like Thing.(suzette)

750g casserole beef
300mL of Guiness
500mL chicken stock
large onion
tablespoon of flour
thyme
bay leaves
1 sheet of pre-prepared puff pastry per 2 serves

Saute the onion until soft.

Dice the steak, then brown with the onion. Sprinkle flour over then mix in.

Add the Guiness, stock, herbs. Allow to reduce slowly over low heat to about one third of original volume, and meat is super tender.

Cut the pastry sheets in to 4, then sandwich two quarters together (one on top of the other). Brush with egg or milk then back for about 10 mins on 190C, until puffy and brown.

Split the pastry pieces open, fill with meat mixture and serve with mashed potato (of course!).

Absorb gasps of joy from fellow diners. Or maybe the gasps have something to do with them clutching their chests as their arteries clog… who can say?
