Tips and FAQs
Substitution for the low-carb pie crust.
If you prefer to make our Low Carb Steak and Mushroom Pie without the pastry crust, you can bake it covered with aluminum foil or replace the pastry crust with a cauliflower mash.
To make a cauliflower mash, steam one head of cauliflower until it is very soft. Mash it with a potato masher or electric mixer. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese, salt and pepper and mix until it is a very soft mash (like mashed potatoes) Spread over the steak and mushroom pie before baking.
Omitting the Guinness in this recipe.
If you choose to omit the Guinness Draught Beer, just replace the amount with beef stock. I find that Guinness adds depth to the overall flavour of the Steak and Mushroom pie, but it can be easily removed.
Storing leftover Guinness beer.
If you are just keeping the leftover beer for cooking you can freeze it. It will lose its carbonation and is not suitable for drinking after being frozen, but will maintain the bold flavour. If you have a recipe that calls for Guinness and needs carbonation, it will not be a good idea to use frozen beer. For recipes, such as stews and soups, it is fine.
Using a different flour
In our low carb streak and mushroom pie I use King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour. You can easily replace it with Carbalose flour. If you use a different flour, you may need to add some xanthan gum as a thickener. I recommend approximately 1 teaspoon, but you can just eyeball it.
Storing and freezing instructions.
Store any leftovers in your refrigerator for up to 4 days covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
This Low Carb Steak and Mushroom Pie freezes exceptionally well. Freeze tightly covered and in an airtight container for up to one month.
