Deliciously fragrant steak stewed in herbs, vegetables and Guinness. With delicious Cheddar under a layer of puff pastry. And a Jack-O-Lantern decoration especially for Halloween.
Only a few more weeks and then it's Halloween. How nice is it to adjust your dinner to this wicked theme? On my blog you can already find countless Halloween recipes, all of which are delicious. For dinner, lunch or as a sweet treat. But something can always be added to that, right?
This oven dish is a combination of a delicious autumn recipe with a Halloween twist. The beef is first baked and then stewed in company of delicious herbs, vegetables, Cheddar and Guinness. Due to the puff pastry roof, almost no liquid evaporates and the meat therefor does not dry out and is given plenty of time to absorb the flavors.
No
Halloween time?
And if you don't have Halloween, you can of course also prepare this recipe. In that case you can replace the Jack-O-Lantern decoration with autumn leaves. Or leave out the decorations if you have limited time.
We certainly enjoyed this delicious stew recipe. I'm curious what you think about it.
It's a good taste!
