Steak, Guninness and Cheese Pie

Source: Jamie Oliver
What you need:
olive oil
3 medium red onions, peeled and chopped
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
30g butter, plus extra for greasing
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 sticks of celery, trimmed and chopped
4 field mushrooms, peeled and sliced
1kg brisket of beef or stewing beef, cut into 2cm cubes
a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 x 440ml can of Guinness (I used two cans)
2 heaped tablespoons plain flour
200g freshly grated Cheddar cheese
500g best-quality ready-made all-butter puff pastry
1 large free-range or organic egg, beaten

Method:

Heat wok, drizzle a little oil.  Stir fast onions first and then garlic till fragrant.

Add beef and browned it.

Add the vegetable, herb and mushroom.  Give it a quick stir.

Pour in Guinness, bring to a boil and let it simmer till soft.  The stew is rich and dark.

Add water along the way if meat is still not done.

Once meat is tenderised, mixed a little water with the flour.  Bring up the heat and stir in the flour solution while stirring.

The sauce should thicken and season with salt and pepper.

Add in the cheese and stir till cheese completed melted.  Set aside to cool.
