This hearty Guinness Braised Beef Pot Pie is filled with tender slow-braised beef in a rich, flavorful Guinness stout gravy and topped with a golden, flaky puff pastry. A comforting dish perfect for cold nights or special occasions like St. Patrick’s Day!
Season the beef with salt and pepper, then coat with flour. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in tomato paste, then deglaze with Guinness stout, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Return the beef to the pot.
Cover the pot and simmer on low for 2-3 hours, until the beef is fork-tender. Stir in frozen peas, and discard the bay leaf.
Spoon the beef mixture into a pie dish or individual ramekins. Top with puff pastry, sealing the edges. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy.
Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite side dishes.
