Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can pale ale or lager beer
• 1 pastry for double-crust pie
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1.25 pounds cubed beef stew meat
• 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1.5 cups quartered fresh mushrooms

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place 1 pie crust into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Spoon hot beef mixture into crust; top with remaining pie crust. Cut slits in top crust to vent steam; crimp edges to seal together.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and gravy is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

Combine beef stew meat, ale, and onion in a large saucepan over low heat; simmer until beef is tender, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Season beef mixture with Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper; add potatoes and mushrooms. Increase heat to medium; cover saucepan and simmer until potatoes are just fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk a small amount of sauce with flour in a small bowl; stir into beef mixture. Simmer until slightly thickened.
