Making this for St. Patricks Day

I made the stew portion of it today. Licked the gravy from the spoon I used to stir it and wow does it taste good.

Will use the stew for the meat pie tomorrow...haven’t made the pastry part yet.

My first thought when I tasted the gravy was, I need to share this recipe with other DUers because it sure is a good recipe.

Anyway here it is!

'Beef in dark, silky gravy composed of fat and reduced stout, flecked with tender vegetables, covered in pastry: This is a dish that delivers good cheer and contentment in equal measure. We built it out of advice and instruction from the British chefs Jamie Oliver (the stew) and Fergus Henderson (the pastry). Eating it — salty and rich, buttoned with sweetness — will occasion thoughts of a coming walk or a nap on the couch with the dog. You’ll want some red wine to drink. It's awesome.'

It will help people decide if they want to try this recipe or not!

I will add a P.S. tomorrow after I do the pastry part and put it all together.

It was worth the effort. Not even that much effort, used a food processor to make the dough.

I didn’t bother with the pigs feet or cheese, just cooked the recipe without it, it was so good my husband was amazed!

And we have plenty for tomorrow, and one meat pie in the freezer for next month, too.

I highly recommend this recipe! Unless you are trying to avoid saturated fat because between the beef and the butter, there’s quite a bit in this recipe.
