Preparation
- Begin by cubing the beef steak into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.
- Finely chop the onions, carrots, and celery, then slice the mushrooms.

Cooking
- In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef in batches, browning for about 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
- Using the same pan, lower the heat and add the chopped vegetables.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until softened, scraping browned bits from the pan.
- Sprinkle flour over the veggies, stirring for 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in Guinness while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and return the beef and mushrooms.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Assembly and Baking

- Roll out the puff pastry to cover the filling with some overhang.
