Dice the steak, cover with flour and brown with
the bacon over
medium heat using the shortening. Remove to a casserole
dish. Peel
and chop the onions and brown in the same pan.
Add to the meat in the
caserole dish. Add raisins and brown sugar and
Guinness. Cover the
dish, and cook at 325F for 2 1/2 hours. Add more
Guiness if the gravy
mixture starts to thicken excessively.
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, about
10 more minutes.
