This classic Irish dish combines slow-cooked beef with the rich, malty flavor of Guinness stout. The long cooking time allows the beef to become incredibly tender while developing deep flavors. Don't rush the browning process - it's key to building the foundation of flavor for this hearty pie.
Serve this Beef and Guinness Pie with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
