Notes
Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
- Note 1: Don't overcrowd the pan or Instant pot when browning the beef so they sear and develop a golden brown coating.
- Beef: I use beef round and cut it into 2-inch cubes. Stew meat or chuck roast cut into cubes work well.
- Feel free to use other cuts of beef such as bottom round and chuck, if that is what your family prefers.
- Guinness Stout foams. Pour the stout for the recipe slowly into a 2-quart measuring cup. Add liquid slowly, ½ cups. Let it foam and then add more.
- The broth will be somewhat liquidy when adding to the pie pan or individual pies. The liquid thickens up as it cooks.
