Beef and Guiness pie

This is so tasty. I don't even use salt so that the baby can eat it. Ingredients: stewing beef, black pepper, a can of Guiness, an onion, one clove of garlic, two bay leaves, two carrots, three mushrooms, one stick of celery and some ready made puff pastry.
I brown the meat in a cast iron pot and then add the Guiness. I let that cook on a medium high heat for half an hour. I then add everything else and cook on a medium low heat for an hour or two (depending on how much time you have). Then I roll out the pastry and place it on top. Make sure to pierce it with a knife to allow steam to escape. I put it in a heated oven at 220 degrees for half an hour. It tastes rich and beautiful. My dad explained it to me and I couldn't believe how easy it was!
