Steak and Guinness Pie

1. 1

   Cut the steak into bite sized cubes, roll in seasoned flour, and brown in the lard with the bacon, chopped small.

2. 2

   Place the meat in a casserole, peel and chop the onions, and fry until golden before adding them to the meat.

3. 3

   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 at 350F (180C).

4. 4

   for 2 1/2 hours.

5. 5

   Stir occasionally, and add a little more Guinness or water if the rich brown gravy gets too thick.

6. 6

   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.
