This is rustic comfort food at its finest. Puff pastry brings it up a notch. But at the end of a cold or dreary day, there’s really nothing better than a hearty beef stew.

Tessa's Recipe Rundown

Taste: Rich, savory, butter (from the pastry). You can’t actually taste the stout.
Texture: The meat is oh-so-tender. The most tender meat that has come out of my slow-cooker.
Ease: Super easy, one pot + one pan meal.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe: Perfect weeknight dinner.

Slow Cooker Steak and Guinness Pie recipe

This Slow-Cooker Steak & Guinness Pie is rustic comfort food at its finest.

At the end of a cold or dreary day, there’s really nothing better than a hearty beef stew.

And let me tell you, the beef in this stew is so tender. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

If you know your slow-cooker tends to cook faster or slower, adjust accordingly. I tend to program mine for the very least amount of time given in a recipe and add more time if needed.

I made this for tonight’s dinner. I almost forgot to put the onions in. I realized it after one hour had gone by. We found it delicious and the meat was so tender. Very easy to do. My husband only asks to cut down on the pepper. I will make this again. Thanks so much for sharing!

OOO I want to try this! One of the few slow-cooker recipes I've seen that does not require browning the meat first! I mean, what's the point of using your slow cooker if you have to do all those extra steps?! 😛
