- Heat the oil in a large skillet, and brown the beef in batches over high heat, adding a touch more oil if necessary.
- Place beef in an ovenproof casserole dish, together with the can of chopped tomatoes, garlic, onion, celery, mushrooms, stout, stock, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover casserole dish tightly, and cook in the oven at 300F (150C) for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until tender, stirring every 30 minutes.
- Cool completely and proceed with the recipe, or refrigerate for up to three days in advance.
- To make the pies, preheat oven to 400F (200C).
- Butter the rims of 8 individual pie dishes or ramekins.

- With a sharp knife make 3 piercings in the top of each pie.
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through, and serve the Australian way, with tomato ketchup.
