Recipe of short pastry*
*For double-crust pie in deep pie dish. -- Cut the steak into bite
sized cubes, roll in seasoned flour, and brown in the lard with
the bacon, chopped small.
Place the meat in a casserole, peel and chop the onions, and fry until
golden before adding them to the meat. Add the raisins (if wanted)
and brown sugar, pour in the Guinness, cover tightly and simmer
over a low heat or in a very moderate oven (325-350F) for 2 1/2
hours. Stir occasionally, and add a little more Guinness or water if the
rich brown gravy gets too thick. Meanwhile, line a deep pie dish with
half the pie crust: bake it blind: then add the Guinness/beef mixture
from the casserole, cover with the top layer of pie crust, and bake
until finished, probably about 10 more minutes. Variation: for the
brown sugar, substitute 3 T honey.
