steak and ale or steak and stout

[chazza]

Does anyone have a good tried and tested recipe for either steak and ale or steak and stout casserole or pie? One with a good thick gravy?

Steak and Ale Cobbler. 1lb stewing steak, 2 medium onions, 1 can or bottle Newcastle Brown Ale.Put these into casserole dish and cover with either tin foil or lid. Depending on size of dish add a little water so steak is covered. Cook in oven about one and half to two hours. 8ozs sr flour,2ozs marg,1tsp baking powder,4ozs grated cheese little milk(cheese scones)When meat is cooked put scones on top and bake for 10 to 15 mins. Thicken with gravy granules.I do this as I am about to serve.Never easy writing down what you want to say.
