British Beef and Ale Pie image

This is my tribute to my recent trip to London. I had something similar in a small pub, and it was my favorite meal in the grand ol' city! The first time I made this I used cream of mushroom soup and 1 Tablespoon of beef boullion in place of the beefy mushroom soup.

Time 8h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 -3 lbs beef roast
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon steak seasoning (I use Famous Dave's)
2 large onions
4 garlic cloves
3/4 cup carrot, baby
2 tablespoons butter
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 pint beef stock
10 1/2 ounces beefy mushroom soup
12 ounces ale
salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
pastry dough, puff ready made

Steps:

  • Mix flour and seasoning in a shallow bowl.
  • Coat beef on all sides (if roast is large, cut in 2 or 3 pieces so it fits in crock pot). Toss out remaining flour mixture.
  • Brown the beef on all sides, remove.
  • Rough chop onions and garlic and add to the pan, heating until soft.
  • Place beef, carrots, onions/garlic, ale and beef stock in crock pot and cook on high for 6-8 hours until it falls apart easily.
  • Remove beef and vegetables from crock pot, reserving liquids. Pull beef into shreds, removing any fat or undesirable pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large saute pan, and cook the mushrooms.
  • Remove 3 cups of liquid from the crock pot and wisk in 1/4 cup flour until smooth. Add to saute pan and cook until sauce thickens. Add beefy mushroom soup. Add beef and vegetables. Maintain on low to keep warm.
  • Prepare puff pastry as directed on the package, baking until risen and golden.
  • Spoon beef mixture in individuals crocks/bowls and top with a single serving of puff pastry.
