What type of beef is best to make Beef Mushroom Guinness Pie?

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.Hearty beef mushroom guinness pot pie and savory topping with tasty beef and gravy

BEEF MUSHROOM GUINNESS PIE FAQ’S

  • Yup, some little-known facts! Did you know that Beef Guinness Pies are served all over Ireland!
  • You won’t find too many corned beef sandwiches on a menu in Ireland!  However, they are delicious!
  • Many recipes include bacon. I choose to leave it out as I find the recipe is awesome with mushrooms for more veggie flavor.
  • Steak Pies, as they were originally called in England use ale. Ireland uses Guinness Stout, thus we have Beef Guinness Pies!
  • I generally make easy peasy recipes.  This looks a lot longer than it takes because I have included instructions for Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, and Oven Braise.

How to make Beef Mushroom Guinness Pie:

beef mushroom guinness soup is made with tasty veggies. The beef is browned and Guinness Stout is poured over the meat and veggies. The ingredients can be braised, slow cooked, or made in the Instant Pot.

  1. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Cut the celery into 1/4 inch slices. Thinly slice onions. Peel and cut the carrots into 1 inch chunks. (See above top left photo)
  2. Cut the beef roast or beef cut of choice into 2 inch chunks. Seasoned flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Dust the beef lightly with flour and brown the beef in your Dutch oven or Instant Pot. (Second photo, top right)
  3. Add in the cut veggies into your Dutch oven or Instant Pot.
  4. Add in a bouquet garni. A very fancy name for fresh herbs tied up in kitchen twine. You can see some of my bouquet and kitchen string in the photo above, right!  This gets removed after cooking, in case you were wondering.
  5. Add in the Guinness Stout and fat-free beef broth.
  6. The detailed instructions to complete braising in the oven, slow cooker and Instant Pot are below in the recipe.

Instant Pot Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to Saute and leave at the Normal function. Once ready, the indicator light will change to HOT!
  • Add one Tablespoon of olive oil to the heated Instant Pot. Add the flour dredged beef to brown. A few pieces at a time. Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot. As the beef pieces brown, remove and set aside until all beef is cooked. You may need to add another 1-2 more Tablespoons of olive oil for browning the remaining beef.
  • Add the remaining Tablespoon of olive oil to the Instant Pot and add the onions and garlic.  Saute for about 2-3 minutes. 
  • Deglaze the pot by carefully adding into the pot remaining Guinness Stout. Use a wooden spoon to loosen all the brown bits at the bottom of the pot. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrots, beef broth and bouquet garni. (instructions to make are below). 
  • Place top on the Instant Pot, turn the valve to seal. Press the Meat/Stew to 30 minutes.  Do a quick release by turning the valve to vent. Once release complete, remove the top. Take about 1/4 cup of the Guinness/broth liquid and place in a cup. Stir in 1 teaspoon cornstarch, combine well. Add back into the beef mixture. Remove the Bouquet Garni, discard. Check seasoning, adjust if needed.

Oven Braised Instructions

  • Dredge beef in flour as instructed above. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a Dutch oven, over medium heat add 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Brown the beef on all sides. Do in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. Add another 1-2 Tablespoons of oil as needed to brown the beef. Put last Tablespoon of olive oil into the pan. Add in the onions and garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes to soften onions. Add in the Guinness Stout and use a wooden spoon to pick up all the brown bits in the bottom of pot. Add in the mushrooms, carrots, celery, beef stock, and bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place cover on pot and place in the oven. Center rack is best. Let braise for about 2 1/2 hours. Take about 1/4 cup of the Guinness/broth liquid and place in a cup. Stir in 1 teaspoon cornstarch, combine well. Add back into the beef mixture. Check the beef, should be tender. Add another half hour of cooking, if needed. Remove Bouquet Garni and discard. Check seasoning, adjust if needed.

Slow Cooker Instructions

  • Follow the instructions to Dredge the beef in flour.  
    In a Dutch oven, over medium heat add 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Brown the beef on all sides. Do in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. Add another 1-2 Tablespoons of oil as needed to brown the beef. Put the last Tablespoon of olive oil into the pan. Add the onions and garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes to soften onions. Add in the Guinness Stout and use a wooden spoon to pick up all the brown bits in the bottom of the pot. Transfer to a slow-cooker. Add the mushrooms, carrots, celery, beef stock, and bouquet garni.

Check seasoning, adjust if necessary.
    Go to Preparing the Individual Guinness Mushroom Beef PIes or One Large PIe

Preparing the Individual Guinness Mushroom Beef Pies or One Large Pie

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using individual personal crocks, measure the pastry puff to fit slightly wider than the crock. Cut the circles out and set aside.  Split the beef mixture between the crocks. Top with the puff pastry. Cut 2-3 slits to release air. Brush the pastry with the egg wash.  Place crocks on a large cookie sheet with lip and cook for about 15 minutes. Pastry should be golden.  Serve immediately
    If using a 10 inch pie pan. Put the beef mixture into the pie pan. Combine the puff pastry sheets into one sheet according to the box instructions.  Usually a bit of water in the finger and press the sheets together works. Lay the sheet on top of the pie. Make a few slits in the pastry to release stem. Brush with the egg wash. Place on a cookie sheet with a lip and bake on middle rack for about 15-20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes.  Pastry should be golden. Serve immediately.

How to make a Bouquet Garni

  • Lay a piece of butchers twine about 12 inches long on a table. Lay the parsley, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary onto the twine. Wrap the twine around the herbs and tie them up. 

Notes

  • When cooking the meat, I use beef round whole. I cut into 2-inch cubes as it is way more affordable than buying pre-cut pieces.  
  • 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, 1/2 cups. Let it foam and then add more. Until you are at 2 cups for the recipe.
  • The broth will be somewhat liquidy when adding to the pie pan or individual pies. The liquid thickens up as it cooks. 
  • all nutritional value is estimated. This can fluctuate due to portion size and ingredients.
