I made this marinade the other night to go with 2 steak fillet’s. I know this is not a cut of meat that you would usually marinade but I have had this recipe saved for ages and thought I would try it. It was a great marinade that would work well with other meats I think, I will look forward to trying this again with a different cut of beef as well. It is very simple and really imparts a nice flavour into the meat. I served our steaks with corn on the cob and topped the steaks with fried mushrooms and onions and a horseradish sauce.

This is a great recipe to either make as a whole pie or make as individual pies, you can make with pastry cases or just add meat and top with pastry. I find a good stout beer works best with this recipe, over a light or blond beer, so if you use that it will taste different. I make mine with just the pastry top as we 
like to watch our carb intakes and it just makes it a bit less, if you just do a top, so you get to enjoy a little naughtiness with a little less guilt. If you choose to make fully enclosed pies, pastry top and bottom, allow mixture to cool before spooning into pastry otherwise it will become soggy.
