3Heat olive oil in large pot over medium high heat.
4Season the beef with salt and pepper and sear on all sides in large pot.
5Add diced onions and tomato paste and stir into the seared beef. Sauté for about 2 minutes.
6Add Guinness to pot and stir well. Then add brown sugar, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, cloves and beef gravy. Stir well.
7Finally add mushrooms to pot and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until beef is fork tender (approx. 1½ hours).
8Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in the slurry in small amounts and allow to cook out for about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust thickness as you see fit, adding more slurry if needed.
12Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth for approximately 1 minute.
13Divide mixture into 6 even size balls. Dust a work surface with flour and roll each ball into a round disc approx. 8” in diameter.
14Place each round into a pre-heated sauté pan. Cook over medium heat until golden brown on both sides flipping half way through.
15Carefully remove boxties from pan and allow to cool on a baking sheet. Once boxties are cooled, spoon Guinness Steak & Mushroom filling onto one half of the boxty and fold other half of boxty over filling.
16Drizzle with sour cream and serve with your favourite side salad.
