Ingredients You Will Need Serving Size: 4-6 Cooking Time: 1 Hour 20 minutes

• ⅓ Cup oil

• 2 celery stalks, chopped

• 3 carrots, chopped

• 2 Cups small onions

• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 4 ½ Lb beef cubes, dusted with ¼ cup flour

• 1 Cup beer

• 1 ½ Cups beef stock

• ½ Lb sliced button mushrooms

• 1 Tbsp tomato puree

• Ground cloves, salt, and pepper

• Butter and flour (for thickening)

• 1 Rolled-out pastry sheet

• 1 Beaten egg

Easy Cooking Instructions Follow these exact steps for perfect results.

1. Heat oil inside a large deep pot. Add celery, onions, and garlic. Soften gently.

2. Dust beef cubes using flour, turn up heat, and add into your pot.

3. Brown only a few cubes per batch. This stops your pot from losing heat, preventing meat stewing before browning completes. Put aside browned cubes.

4. Once all cubes turn brown, put all cubes back into your pot.

5. Add beer and stock. Cover your pot, turn down heat, and allow meat to simmer gently for one hour. Add extra stock whenever your mixture starts drying out.

6. Add mushrooms, tomato puree, ground cloves, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.

7. Thicken your gravy when necessary, using butter and flour.

8. Next, place mixture inside a pie dish. Cover with rolled-out pastry, trimming and crimping edges neatly.

9. Brush with egg. Bake inside an oven heated to 356°F until golden brown, taking about 15 to 20 minutes.

10. Serving Ideas Serving this gorgeous Beef Pie alongside creamy mashed potatoes makes everyone smile. Try pairing it with roasted veggies too. Every single bite melts beautifully. Let me know how yours turns out!
