Irish stout recipes
Try adding a slug of the black stuff to your stews, pies and baking for extra depth and richness.

This classic steak pie uses stout to make a rich gravy and ready-rolled pastry for ease. For the ultimate pie, the recipe suggests using shortcrust for the base and puff for the lid, but obviously you can just use the puff pastry lid if you prefer.
You will need a 28x23cm/11x9in pie dish that is 4.5cm/1ΒΎin deep.
