Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sirloin tips and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced onions, carrots, and potatoes to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Create Gravy

    Pour in the Guinness Stout and beef broth, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Thicken Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Pastry Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.

  2. 6

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Pastry

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to fit your pie dish. Reserve some dough for a top crust.

  3. 9

    Fill the Pie

    Transfer the rolled-out pastry into the pie dish, fill with the cooled meat and vegetable mixture, and cover with the top crust.

  4. 10

    Egg Wash

    Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust to give it a nice golden color.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

  6. 12

    Serve

    Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, topped with additional gravy if desired.
