steak, guinness and cheese pie with a puff pastry lid

i'm addicted to this pie!

My daughter Dante made me this pie and it was amazing. Best pie ever.

Made this pie (with brisket and extra Guinness) for dinner tonight.... AMAZING :) Will definitely be cooking this again!

I have never baked a pie before so want to give this one a go but how 'large ' a pie dish do I need to buy?...as there are so many options to choose from! Help please...<br /> Thx<br /> Emma

I made the steak and guiness pie with the pastry only on top. It was a big hit with our friends, then I had to lend them my Jamie cookbook! Great flavor and easy to make, it will be a staple in my kitchen.<br />

Made this pie for my boyfriend for Valentines Day went down a treat :) Good Recipe

This is literally the tastiest pie I have ever eaten, let alone cooked myself! It it definitely worth the wait. Might be worth going easy on the added water to keep it "robust" as Jamie puts it. A definite winner for anyone with tastebuds! (and not vegetarian)

Hi,I have it in the oven now and it looks delicious .... thank you Jamie love your recipes.

I am a terrible cook, so I felt I needed to challenge myself and face my fear.... It is currently in the oven and the contents taste amazing! My puff pastry over the top of the pie is floating in the middle of the dish as I haven't made it big enough. The pastry really does need to stretch over the sides. Just a tip for new cooks! It tastes lovely, I am so impressed! And even more impressed that I have managed to do it!

Do anyone have clip for this recipe?! Looked everywhere online, but no joy. Can email me the to www.whiteboy1@hotmail.com - Would be grateful.

I watched you make this recipe on your show years ago and at the time, my husband instantly requested it to be his birthday dinner. At the time I searched the internet high and low looking for the recipe to be published somewhere and never found it. Thankfully, I had recorded the episode and I watched it countless times and wrote down the recipe. And every year for the past 5 years I have pulled out the piece of paper with my notes all over it to make this for my husband for his birthday because he still requests it every year. Thank you for finally posting this!!!

I made this last night for my family and it was a hit; there was almost a smackdown between my husband and my brother for the last helping! <br /> I had some trouble getting it to thicken, so I had to add another tablespoon of flour, but it didn't affect the taste or anything. <br /> I think I'm going to make the pastry from scratch next time, as my supermarket only sells it in 450g and 330g packets; I had to roll the pastry out a bit more (it came in 2 pre-rolled sheets), so it didn't puff up as much as it should have.

Recipe went down a storm with my family. Made double the amount of filling which is now in freezer for next time! Great recipe Jamie

This is the first pie I have ever made and it was fantastic! I really impressed my partner and my parents and all those hours of work were definitely worth the wait! I recommend that EVERYONE try this recipe because I have only started cooking less than a year ago and it came out perfectly! It was even perfect on our Aussie summer evening (with the air-con on in the kitchen, of course!), but am looking forward to it in the winter and am sure it will make a great July night meal!

Láttam a TV-ben. Megcsináltam emlékezetb&#337;l a barátoknak egy nyár végi hétvégén, a Balaton partján. Csak a sajt nem chedar volt, a többi stimmelt.<br /> Tökéletes lett, azóta mindig ilyet kérnek t&#337;lem! Nálunk Magyarországon egy testes vörösborral csinálnák.... majd egyszer olyat is csinálok próbából..<br /> Üdv!

FANTASTIC meal...I read the previous comments and did not add any extra water and it came out perfectly. The filling was incredible! The puff pastry was not the easiest - the sheets just didn't work as well as the brick that Jamie used. But this was excellent, no leftovers, not a scrap! Quite an involved practice, but worth it for such a fab Sunday dinner.

Made the filling for this pie yesterday it wasn't red and rich more brown and watery dunno what I did wrong I followed the recipe word for word also my steak is tough as old boots now I'm disappointed

This so worked. M & S had run out of steak so I had to use pork instead. I marinaded the pork in mustard, salt and pepper before hand. The extra water wasn't needed. I also put in a tablespoon of maple syrup to even out the mustard. Worked really well!!! <br />

Made this for dinner yesterday, so easy and soooo tasty!

Hi, can you freeze the filling?<br />

Have the pie in the oven now, only in there 25 mins and the smell is making me want to take it out and eat it now!!

I had some left-over leg of pork and puff pastry I used for a tarte tatin the other night - saw this recipe on TV and I decided to tweak it a bit. Wow. I only made a lid (didn't line the dish with pastry) but even so, my family absolutely loved it! Thanks!

Fabulous! I didn't add extra water either.....was perfect. Definitely doing this for upcoming dinner party...with lots of red wine, open fire and cold wether outside!

Brilliant pie. Worth the effort. Family & friends loved it. Served it with creamy mash & Jamie's peas (minus the lettuce). Delish

What a brilliant pie. SO delicious and well worth the effort. Possible the best pie we've ever had.

My first attempt was perfect. The best pie i had. My family gobbled it down in seconds. I must add that the peas were a wonderful accompaniment.

Sharon how about this..... copy and paste the recipe onto a word document. I do this when i have difficulty in printing out recipes :o)

I have cooked this several times and everyone has loved the pie.

Definitely didn't need to add water - it made it way too runny. Instead of putting it in the oven for the second hour we simmered it on the stove top and thickened it up with cornflour. We also added about a tablespoon each of tomato paste, soy sauce and worcestshire sauce at the end - SO DELICIOUS!! We're making it in the slow cooker next time and putting those few extra ingredients in from the start. Yummy!!

I have lost my recipe for the Guinness and cheese pie and this site won't let me print it.<br /> Help

Love the recipe and shared it with friends and now I can't find my copy and this site won't let me print it, Help.

Jamie, <br /> Thank you for this delicious sounding recipe. I recently learned that there is often sodium nitrite in beer, and they don't, by law, have to disclose that info to us. Can you find out? I love to cook with Guiness, but am not interested in the added chemicals..........Thanks in advance.

I have made this pie for my man and his friends..........and its now known as Ru"s Secret Pie" hahaha outstanding pie,

Just made this for dinner and had to stop myself eating it all before it even became a pie! Absolutely gorgeous, rich and hearty yet balanced flavours. Going to enjoy it with a Guinness tonight! Thanks

Why can I not print this recipe?

Great recipe! I just tried it and will definitely use it in my X-stmas menu!

This pie is amazingly tasty and so easy to make!
It's usually my other half who does the cooking but I've made this several times now because he LOVES it so much!
My mum's meat pie was always my favorite as a child...I made this for her at the weekend and she LOVED IT too! She's now embarrassed by her pie and asked for my recipe...so thanks Jamie!
All in all.....a complete WINNER!

My God this looks delicious! I can't wait to try it. Will let you know!!!!!
Thanks

Just made this last night and substituted the Steak with Lamb. Fantastic. one of the best meals i've cooked in a while. This is going to become a winter time favorite for sure.

Great pie, added a nice bit of Worcestershire sauce and instead used creamy blue stilton cheese for extra flavour

Absolute fab recipe, so easy, come back to it time & time again! i've used beef shin for this recipe aswell, which is as tasty, but a lot longer cooking.

i have just made this pie as part of a valentines meal for my husband, we had it with peas and chunky chips.
it was flippin lovely.
we both really enjoyed it. - what a great recipe.

DE-LIC-IOUS!

I cooked the recipe 1 day in advance and was perfect for a dinner party the next day. I reduced the sauce before putting the pie together so the filling got an extra 30 mins cooking time and the meat was extra flaky.

I would also recommend topping up the stew with Guinness rather than water for extra stouty goodness!

ENJOY!!

Hi there!
I really wanna thank u cause this recipe made my Year Ending Party great!!!
All my friends loved this pie :)
A big hug from Italy,
Elisa

I made this recipie and it was as well the best pie I ever had. I also cut back on some of the cheese in the pie (thinking about the waist line) but it still tasted fabulous! Would make it again!
My boyfriend said it was the best he ever had and told all his football mates who now want to have dinner at our.. hehel

Made this for my boyfriend last night who quietly sat and ate it all, and remark at the end it was the best pie he'd ever eaten! And he knows his pies. Thanks for the great recipe.

I made this last night and it was gorgeous. I think there was a little too much guiness in, it was a bit runny so will use less next time, but everybody scoffed the lot. Its so good to make something that EVERYONE enjoys. Not one word of a moan from my 15 year old son, brilliant!!!

He has become a Jamie fan now so all I have to say is this is a Jamie recipe and he is up for it. Thinking of chucking all my other cookery books:)

making this pie 2nite for the second time it is absolutly delicious cant wait

Great recipe and I have made it three or four times already in just two months. The trick is add a little less liquid before putting in the oven or it gets too runny. On the show, Jamie doesn't add liquid to the point where it's "just enough to cover" so the description here is somewhat misleading. I think using less cheese doesn't really compromise the flavor much.

MLB, the whole idea of adding Guinness (or any other stout for that matter) is the slightly bitter taste. If you don't like this particular taste in beer as such when you drink it, I suggest making a stew without stout.

Created this not too long ago, without the Guiness or cheese to cater for all tastes. Did not have the correct pan either, so used an alternative that was far too big but, with a little imagination and a bit of creativity with the pastry, the steak pie worked out brilliantly.

Keep it up Jamie, cheers!

MLB, you did something wrong. I have made this pie 3 times and it is flippin delicious.
FOLLOW THE RECIPE

I've made this twice this week so far and I love it. If you follow the recipe exactly it comes out perfectly. I have a happy husband now so I will continue making these recipes!!!!

I have the book and was really excited about this recipe. I made it today and am so disappointed...the Guinness has a terrible bitter aftertaste. I decided to add some sugar ...this did sweeten it, but the bitter taste remains. Also - I think 1 tsp of pepper was too much...1/2 tsp would be better. I would have to substitute something else for the Guinness next time.

FANTASTIC COOK BOOKS JAMIE X

My missus really loved this pie so much, she's asked me to make it again. For the first time in history my kids cleared their plates and even said how much they enjoyed their dinner. The english onion soup is on the menu for this weekend. I can't wait.

omg! this looks absolutely delicious :) I can't wait to try to cook it!
