Use either chuck or bottom round beef to get tender cooked meat. Buy the roast whole and cut into 2-inch cubes, much more cost-effective.
Tips to have an awesome tasting Guinness Beef Pie:
- Cut the carrots into 1-inch chunks so they do not get too soft once cooked.
- I prefer a button or baby Bella mushroom in this recipe.
- Puff Pastry is a great topping for these Guinness Pie and it is so easy to use a store-bought puff pastry.

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.

I don't have access to fresh herbs. Could I use dried? If I can, what amount of parsely, thyme and rosemary?
Eileen xo
Hey Marty, You can use dried herbs. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of thyme and rosemary. Once everything has cooked and the flavors blend, give it a taste and adjust the herbs if needed. I hope you enjoy dinner.
