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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and diced carrots to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring well to coat evenly.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the beef stock and stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps from the flour.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the mince mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
