Beef in Guinness

Beef in Guinness is, indeed, splendid. And as an Irish stew, it makes for a wonderful St. Patrick's day dinner. With a mess of potage, just aubergine and carnation petals, and a six shilling bottle of Mule du Pape, a feast fit for a King! (Two credits for the first to identify the misquote above:-)

And there is enough left over to make the remainder into a steak and mushroom pie tomorrow (I'd go for steak and kidney, except for two facts: LOML is not a fan of kidneys, to put it mildly, and calves kidneys are impossible to find in this neck of the woods.)

Yours, pie-eyed: after all, it is St Patrick's day....

    So, how much Guiness do you put in the pot?

    1- Not a big fan of kidneys ovah heah, eithah.

    2- Some of the butcher shops online will ship rognons to wherever.

    3- Please post your recipe for steak-and-mushroom pie.

    As you were,
