Brisket Pie

[Chili Head]

Today I made Brisket Pie.

I started off yesterday dusting my brisket with some CYM and John Henrys texas brisket rub then into the MAK burning hickory.

I tossed in a few turkey legs to take for dinner while at work last night too. These were dusted with garlic olive oil and desert gold.

Today to kick this off I chopped some mushrooms,carrots,garlic,celery,onion and a few sprigs of rosemary.

Next in a dutch oven with some EVOO I slowly cooked the onions. Once the onions were done I turned up the heat and added 2 pounds of cubed brisket and the rest of the chopped veggies, rosemary and 1 1/2 bottles of guiness. I then added some water just enough to cover the ingredients.

I let it simmer for 15 minutes then I covered it and put it into the oven for 2 hours at 425º

After two hours the filling looked like this.

I gave it a quick stir and added 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and stirred that in.

I rolled out the puff pastry to cover the bottom of the iron skillet.

I next added in the brisket filling and covered that with the remaining cheese.

I then placed the top dough on the pie and just rolled the edges up and gave it an egg wash.

Now things get interesting...and not in a good way.

I had the MAK set on high for an hour to get it all pre heated up and ready. My bad for not checking on it earlier but I had just smoked some cheese a couple hours before without issue. Anyway.. I go out to put the pie in the MAK and it's beeping and flashing an error code..YIKES! After dumping the pellets (love the pellet door) and looking to make sure the auger isnt jammed I was out of time and I had to get the Brisket Pie going. So plan B went into effect and I cooked the pie in the house oven at 375º for 45 minutes.

It turned out fantastic! The pie crust was buttery and flakey and the filling with the brisket and guiness was so savory and rich. We loved it!
I have no doubt this would have been even better finished off in the MAK with some more smokey goodness but I'll have to try it again another day.

I wasnt going to post this at all since the finished product wasnt cooked with Pellets but I thought the brisket was and that may be good enough to be a valid entry. Plus it looks rock"n awesome! Hehehe

And the turkey legs rocked too!

Is there any left? I bet not because it looks incredible.

Pees were a great choice to go with that pie. I like the beets too.

Life is sure good around the pit.

We have talked about getting a cast iron skillet... can't believe we dont have one... but this just put me over the edge. I was busy drooling over the pics and had to go back to read what you wrote. LOL!

Great brisket pie! I'd have some of that. Bet it was hard to pour almost two bottles of Guinness into the dutch oven, I know it is for me.
