Slimming World steak pie with Guinness recipe

This Slimming World steak pie recipe with sprout mashed potatoes is 866 calories per serving. 

The recipe uses frying steak but you could use fillet steak if you want the leanest cut of beef possible. It’s more expensive but will remain tender given the short amount of cooking involved. This is an excellent recipe if you’re entertaining but want to stay on track with your Slimming World diet.

Ingredients

• Low-calorie cooking spray
• 600g beef frying steak, all visible fat removed, cut into small chunks
• 400g button mushrooms, quartered
• 200g celeriac, peeled and cut into small cubes
• 200g small shallots, peeled
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• A small handful of fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 200ml beef stock
• 2 tbsp Guinness
• 1 level tbsp gravy granules
• 100g Jus-Rol Light Puff Pastry
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

For the mash:

• 800g floury potatoes, such as Desiree or King Edward, peeled and roughly chopped
• 400g Brussel sprouts, finely shredded
• 100ml hot vegetable stock

Method

1. Heat your oven to 220C (200C, Gas 7). Spray a large, heavy-based frying pan sprayed with low calorie cooking spray and put on the hob over a high heat. Add the steak and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until browned.
2. Add the mushrooms, celeriac, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, stock, Guinness and gravy granules and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
3. Remove from the heat and divide the mixture between 4 deep, oval pie dishes, each about 12cm long.
4. Roll out the pastry and cut out 4 lids to fit the pie dishes. Brush the rims of the dishes with water, cover the pies with the pastry lids and press down with a fork. Brush each lid with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden.
5. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until tender, adding the sprouts for the last 5 minutes. Drain, return to the pan and add the stock. Season and mash well then serve immediately.
