Dark guinness beer, tender shiitake mushrooms, and juicy steak transform a classic comfort food into a SUPER cozy mushroom steak shepherd’s pie that will be a permanent spot on the dinner menu!
I kid you not, y’all, last week we got roughly around 6 inches of snow. In October. BEFORE HALLOWEEN!!
So you see why I am currently burying my face in guinness shiitake mushroom steak shepherd’s pie. Literally the only thing that could keep a person going throughout this insanity.
And ice cream, cause regardless of the snow, that is a necessity even if you have to bury yourself in 27 blankets whilst eating it.
The perfect coping food actually does exist because this mushroom steak shepherd’s pie is LITERALLY locked and loaded with it all.
We’ve got dark, flavorful Guinness beer which btw is this girl’s FAV beer, the end. We’ve got tender little steak cubes with ‘dem pretty shiitake mushies. Oodles of other cozy veggie goodness hanging out in tons of sauce. And taters + cheese obv. Just your everyday November basics.
The BEST part about a shepherd’s pie for me is that they are literally the most bomb thing you could ever do with leftover mashed potatoes. If I ever have a decent amount of mashed potatoes it’s always a given they’re getting thrown in a shepherd’s pie. The end.
The sauce base of this mushroom steak shepherd’s pie is mostly Guinness and trust me on this: it’s the secret to getting all the incredible flavors you’re able to in only a few minutes. We’ve also got all your shepherd’s pie basics such as carrots, peas, onions, meat, etc all cozy in the sauce. It’s a thing of cozy food beauty.
Regardless if you’re buried in snow already or still wearing shorts, the fact of the matter is that you NEED this shepherd’s pie.
Yes, you need another Guinness nearby while you’re face-shoving it. Not optional.
