Ingredients
-
-
2 lbs extra lean ground beef (or lamb)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 large carrot, grated
-
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 teaspoon thyme
-
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
-
1 cup red wine
-
-
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
-
water
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup heavy cream or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
salt
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
1 large onion, grated
Instructions
- Prepare the mashed potatoes:.
- Place potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover, add salt, cook for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and mash (I prefer using a ricer). Warm the cream and butter then add to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt, then beat with a wooden spoon or hand beater for 1 minute until fluffy. Do not overbeat or it might turn gummy.
- Prepare the filling:.
- Add 2 T grated Parmesan cheese. Cover, set aside, keep warm while preparing beef.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil, stir fry beef until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Add onion, garlic, and carrot and stir fry for 3 minutes.
- Add worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme and rosemary, cook for 1 minute. Add wine and simmer until wine has almost evaporated. Add the broth and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer beef to a deep dish.
- Spoon mashed potato on top of beef. Sprinkle with 1 T grated Parmesan cheese. Fluff with a fork to create peaks.
- Bake in a 400° F oven for 20 minutes or broil until top is brown.
