Beef in Guinness is a traditional Irish dish of beef slowly braised in Guinness. It is a simple, hearty dish, using the tougher, cheaper, but also flavorful cuts of meat.
Top the beef with a puff pastry lid and it makes a deliciously rich beef pie. This recipe uses stewing beef but short ribs also work very well.
