I normally use red wine or Port when slow cooking beef in this way, but have never used Stout. Why had I not tried this before?! I wanted to keep this old fashioned and traditional, so didn’t use any garlic. My mum always adds a spoon full of bovril or marmite to a steak and kidney pie mixture, for colour and a beefiness so I did the same . Sounds weird, but it works. This is a must try, please let me know what you think?
