Toss the steak pieces in 2 tbs of plain flour. Lightly spray a deep saucepan with oil. Add the steak and fry for 5 minutes.

Add the onion, celery and carrots to the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, adding a little water if they start to stick. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the Guinness, bay leaves and brown sugar. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, until the beef is tender.

Sift 150g flour into a bowl and rub in the spread to make crumbs. Stir in 3-4 tbs water to make pastry, wrap in cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a work surface dusted with 1 tbs flour. Slice into strips. Spoon the beef into an ovenproof dish and lay the strips over to form a lattice.
