Shepherds Pie

Ingredients:

2 lbs Ground Lamb or Beef
3 lbs Russet Potatoes (pealed and cut)
1 Medium Onion (finely diced)
2-3 Carrots (finely diced)
2-3 Ribs Of Celery (finely diced)
2 Tbsp Garlic (minced)
1-2 Tbsp Fresh Thyme
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1-2 Tbsp Flour
1 Cup Cabernet Red Wine
1 Cup Beef Stock
1-2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 Cup Peas
1-1.5 Cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
Butter
Milk
Olive Oil
Fresh Parsley (optional)
Salt and Pepper

Instructions:

In a large pot filled with water, add the cut potatoes and some salt. Bring to a boil until the potatoes are soft then drain. Mash the potatoes until smooth with a stick of butter and some milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper then set aside.

In a large pan on medium high heat, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and the ground meat. Brown the meat then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, discard the fat (if any) and reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 Tbsp of butter and the diced onions. Caramelize the onions slightly then add the carrots and celery. Cook for around 5-7 minutes then add the garlic, thyme, and tomato paste. Bloom the tomato paste, then mix into the veggies. Sprinkle in some flour, and mix.

Next add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and ground meat back to the pan. Let reduce and simmer on low heat until the filling is thickened and the vegetables are soft, about 15-20 minutes. (Add more stock if needed). Add the peas to the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next in a lightly greased 9x13 casserole dish, spread the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan making sure to pack it in tightly. Spread the mashed potatoes over top of the meat filling evenly and top with a generous layer of Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the oven set to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes then place under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes to brown the parmesan cheese. (Make sure to keep a close eye on it so the cheese does not burn). Let the shepherds pie rest for 20 minutes.

Slice, serve and garnish with parsley.

Enjoy!

When you make it with lamb is called Shepherds pie. When you make it with beef it's called Cottage pie.. Just a FYI.

First person on the internet I heard say Worcestershire sauce confidently😂😂😂

[ceceliagallegos]

First I'd have a bowl of you beef stew. Then have a piece of shepherd's pie. Your dishes look Sabroso Matthew.❤😋😋❤

[tyekosan]

I mean I’ve never had Parmesan or any kind of cheese on a cottage pie, wouldn’t think it would taste right but okay

[saadplays]

How dare you pronounce Worcestershire so effortlessly? Everybody knows they're supposed to struggle for 10 seconds and still say it wrong

[deborahklinlger]

This version looks amazing,
I've never liked any I've eaten before. Can you come to my housec make it for me?

[kimmeise]

Matthew seriously your wife must be so happy that you can cook like this!!!! I have just stumbled upon your videos and I am making everything on your site. Yum Yum Yum. Thank you so VERY much appreciate you 😋

[frankcole]

I just love watching your videos. Quick question, what's your favorite meal to prepare out of all the cooking that you do? I bet you and your lovely wife never have to go to restaurants. Because you are the restaurant.🤣🤣💯💯❤❤🙌🏿🙌🏿

I need a non-alcoholic version for a family member who get seizures from alcohol due to medication. Is there an option?

[almarc]

You need to do your mirepoix Why do I see so many people doing this backwards!! You are missing out on flavor.

[beanlordd]

My lord that pie looks as beautiful as the cook

[DavidLodgeclassof]

I know there's different ways to make Shepherds pie, but because it was a dish of my childhood, I can't accept it being made with tomatoes and cheese.

[Steve_]

Well if you want to make shepherds pie you can’t use ground beef because that’s cottage pie, shepherds pie because of the sheep, tada

[Kerry-qeul]

This is a British favourite, I highly recommend trying this on a cold evening! It's so easy to make and can be cheap to make too, most people use beef mince making cottage pie but shepherd's pie made with lamb mince is lovely but slightly more costly to make

[nrvstoopid]

Lookin good this channel will for sure blow up

[wendylincoln]

Anyone please tell me WHY tomato paste and or tomatoe sauce etc.??
And what kind of salt? Ty!

[thebaconbrotato]

You can't make Shepherd's Pie without lamb.

[janegarner]

Thanks. I used ground turkey and it cane out great. Everything else the same.

[dylanking]

"Americans" British people can't cook Americans calling cottage pie shepherds pie🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

[ThePebble]

Why do Americans struggle with what meat goes in a Shepards pie?
