Guinness beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic stout

💰Cheaper: dark beer

Non-alcoholic stout provides similar flavor without alcohol.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: pie crust

Phyllo dough is lighter, while pie crust is more economical.

Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).

In a pan over high heat, add ham and render the fat until browned.

Add beef stew meat cut into cubes, browning it as well.

Add 2 fresh bay leaves, diced potatoes, diced carrots, and crushed garlic to the pan.

Season with a good pinch of cracked pepper and salt; adjust later if needed.

Pour in about half a can of Guinness beer.

Add roughly sliced onions and cook until the sauce reduces and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

If the mixture gets too thick, add a little water to adjust consistency.

Remove the bay leaves once the potatoes are tender and the sauce is thick.

Tear fresh sage leaves and add them to the mixture.

Ladle the beef Guinness mixture into individual glass hot pot dishes placed on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Wet the edges of the dishes with water using your finger.

Lay puff pastry squares over the top, draping them down the sides, and cut slits in the pastry for steam to escape.

Whisk an egg and brush it over the top of the pastry for a shiny finish.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
