Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Minced beef (ground beef)
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 large Carrot
- 300 ml Beef stock
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 800 g Potatoes
- 50 g Butter
- 50 ml Whole milk
- 1 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the onion. Dice the carrot into small cubes.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and carrot to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and flour, mixing well to coat the meat and vegetables.
Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the mince is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Serve the mince hot over a bed of mashed potatoes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavour and colour.
