Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING
500g beef chunk, diced
200g flour

500ml Guinness
1 onion, diced
4 carrots, diced

Method
PASTRY
Place the flour and dripping into a food processor and blend with the eggs and a pinch of salt to form a firm dough. Wrap with cling film and place in the fridge to rest.
FILLING
Season the beef with salt and pepper and coat with flour. Add oil to a heavy-based pan and heat. Add the beef chunk and brown. Add the diced vegetables and cook for five minutes then add the tomato puree and coat the mixture. Add the Guinness and beef stock. Wrap the herbs in a muslin cloth and tie to the pan. Simmer for two hours. The mixture should be thick and the beef tender. Season and add Henderson’s Relish then leave to cool.
TO FINISH
Grease four pie dishes with oil or butter. Line them with the pastry and add the filling. Cover with a pastry lid and egg wash. Bake in the oven at 160°C for 20–25 minutes or until golden.
