Directions

1

{"0":"Brown beef in a dutch oven or other large heavy saucepot over low to moderate heat. Allow to simmer until cooked throughout, about 5-10 minutes. Drain excess fat when cooked and add onion, carrots, garlic, stout, wine, broth, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, sage and marjoram.l Stir and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook 15 minutes or until carrots are fork tender. add peas.","2":"Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour to make a roux. Slowly incorporate roux into simmering beef mixture until desired thickness is achieved. (if mixture was simmered too long or cooked too high, less roux is needed.) Continue to cook for 5-10 minutes to allow roux and flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a 9 1\/2in. round casserole dish or deep pie dish.","4":"While meat is simmering, preheat over to 350 degrees and prepare Ulster Champ Topping.","6":"Spoon Ulster Champ topping evenly over meat mixture, making irregular peaks with the back of a spoon. Alternatively, use a pastry bag and star tip to pipe potatoes over meat mixture. Bake for 20-30 mins or until topping is golden brown and crusty on edges and mixture is heated throughout.","8":"If desired, place casserole under broiler for 1-2 mins to crisp topping, remove from oven, allow to cool slightly to set, and serve immediately from casserole dish. Serve with HP sauce, steak sauce or pan gravy, if desired.","10":"NOTE: Pie can be cooked and served in individual baking dishes. Adjust final baking time as needed."}
