Jamie's steak & guiness pie, the gravy hasn't thickened

[clumsymum]

I thought there seemed like a lot of liquid when I put this together.

Anyway, 2 hrs cooking on, it's much too runny. How much cornflour for 1 3/4 pints of liquid?

Would start off with a couple of teaspoons, mix well with a little water in a cup before adding Then another tsp if it needs it

forget the cornflour, just reduce gently until it has thickened.

I have made this loads. It does work.

magsi. Well I must have done something horribly wrong then, because it didn't thicken without help, and I didn't feel it had the intensity of flavour that he described. Mind you, ds has demanded the left-overs as his tea tonight, so he must have liked it !!

Beern back over the recipe and can't see what I was doing wrong. Dh has pointed out that we have had the can of guiness I used in the back of the fridge for God-knows-how-long, so maybe that caused a problem?

I shall try again in a couple of weeks.

Anyone like to tell me this recipe. Sounds lovely!

Liza, sorry no time to type it all out, but it is in "Happy Days with the Naked Chef". See if your library has it?

Is it simialr to the Tana Ramsey one.? I have made it a few times and you add stilton sheese to it at the end of tha simmering time - makes it really tatsey and thickens it too.
