Oh this is just the absolute BEST Steak and Guinness Pie! Super tasty, rich, meaty pie filling topped with flaky puff pastry. A delicious, easy family meal idea.
Our Steak And Guinness Pie is a great, hearty, and filling family supper that everyone will enjoy. And, best of all, it is quite simple to make!
We prepare the rich, beefy, steak pie filling in the slow cooker, then layer it with a puff pastry sheet bought from the supermarket and bake it in the oven till golden brown.
Super simple, super tasty, and oh so satisfying to eat! This really is especially true when served with a side of chunky chips and lashings of meaty gravy.
Making Our Steak And Guinness Pie Is A Good Thing, Here’s Why!
- We make the pie filling in the slow cooker which is cheaper to run than the oven.
- The steak and Guinness pie filling is super easy to make – no faff or browning required, literally dump, stir and go!
- You can eat the pie filling as a delicious stew if you don’t want to add a pie crust. Just serve with air fryer chips or mash and some green vegetables for an easy dinner.
It’s a great meal idea for celebrating St Patricks Day!

Can I Freeze Steak Pie?
If you wish to save the pie filling for another day, freezing it is a simple process.
Simply cool the pie filling quickly, within 2 hours after cooking before transferring to a freezer-safe container and freezing.
Allow the pie filling to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before re-heating in the microwave or a saucepan on the stovetop, taking care to bring it to a minimum temperature of 75C and stirring constantly to avoid uneven heating.
