#### Steps to Make Beef Mushroom and Guinness Pie
1. **Prepare the Filling**
- In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 10-12 minutes).
- Drain off excess fat if necessary.
2. **Add Vegetables and Liquids**
- Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture.
- Pour in Guinness stout and tomato paste; let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another few minutes.
3. **Thicken the Mixture**
- Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly stir this into the mixture until it thickens.
- Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. **Prepare the Pie Crust**
- In a mixing bowl, combine 50g of butter and 300g of all-purpose flour using a pastry cutter or your hands until crumbly.
- Add cold beef stock or water little by little, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead briefly to ensure the dough is smooth.
5. **Assemble the Pie**
- Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and trim any excess.
- Pour the cooled filling into the crust, spreading evenly.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips for the lattice top.
6. **Create the Lattice Top**
- Lay the dough strips over the filling, crisscrossing them to create a decorative lattice pattern.
- Pinch edges together to seal and crimp with your fingers or a fork for an elegant finish.
7. **Bake the Pie**
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
