Steak, Guinness & Cheese Pie with a Puff Pastry Lid

This pie is a real winner! As it uses bought puff pastry, it's quick to prepare, and you can make the filling the day before if you want. For a bit of a treat you could use 500g of pastry and line the bottom of the pie dish - just make sure you cook it at the bottom of the oven so the pastry has a chance to crisp up.
