That Dick Francis? Or another one. Here's a
recipe that brings to mind another mystery
writer, Dorothy Sayers.

You lost me on that one.... how does it bring her to mind....? She's
one of my favorite authors....

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01
Title: Steak and Guinness Pie (Irish)
Categories: Irish, Beef, Pies
Yield: 4 servings

1 kg Round steak 300 ml Guinness
1 tb Flour 8 Slices bacon
1 ts Brown sugar 3 oz Lard
1 tb Raisins (optional) Chopped parsley
5 x Onions Recipe of short pastry*
*For double-crust pie in deep pie dish. -- Cut the steak into bite
sized cubes, roll in seasoned flour, and brown in the lard with the
bacon, chopped small.

Place the meat in a casserole, peel and chop the onions, and fry
until golden before adding them to the meat. Add the raisins (if
wanted) and brown sugar, pour in the Guinness, cover tightly and
simmer over a low heat
or in a very moderate oven (325-350F) for 2 1/2 hours. Stir
occasionally, and add a little more Guinness or water if the rich
brown gravy gets too thick. Meanwhile, line a deep pie dish with
half the pie crust: bake it blind: then add the Guinness/beef
mixture from the casserole, cover with the top layer of pie crust,
and bake until finished, probably about 10 more
minutes. Variation: for the brown sugar, substitute 3 T honey.
