Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef (mince)
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, finely diced
- 500 ml Beef stock
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 kg Potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 50 g Butter
- 100 ml Milk
Instructions
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and diced carrots to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring well to coat evenly.
Gradually pour in the beef stock and stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps from the flour.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
While the mince is cooking, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the mince mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
