Ingredients

For the dough:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ teaspoon fine salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
¾ cup grated Irish cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces)
6 to 7 tablespoons stout beer
1 large egg, lightly beaten

For the filling:
2 ¼ pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup stout beer
3 cups Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Seasoning
1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Make the dough: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor. Add butter and cheese; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-size butter bits. Gradually pulse in 6 tablespoons beer until dough holds. Form into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. Prepare the filling: Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss beef with flour, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in an ovenproof pot; brown beef 7 minutes. Add beer and 2 cups water, scraping browned bits. Cover and braise in oven 30 minutes. Add Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Seasoning, carrots, and celery; continue braising 1 hour.

3. Assemble pot pies: Roll dough between parchment into a 10×15-inch rectangle; cut into six 5-inch squares. Place ramekins on a baking sheet; divide filling among ramekins. Top with dough squares, press edges, brush with egg, and cut slits for steam.

4. Bake: Increase oven to 375°F. Bake 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and crisp. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
