English Shepherd's Pie

Overview

Shepherd's pie, also known as cottage pie, is a traditional British dish. It does not have a puff pastry like a pie in Western pastry, but is a flour-free pie made with potatoes, meat and vegetables and is regarded as a staple food. The aroma is fragrant when baked. When you increase the amount and use a large baking pan, it is also suitable for entertaining many people.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the potatoes, peel them, cut them into pieces, cover them in a bowl, and microwave them on high heat for 3 minutes

   

2. 2 Take it out to cool slightly, put a plastic bag on your hands, and mash the potatoes into puree. Add salt, pepper, butter and a little milk and mix well. I personally like a slightly grainy feel, so I don’t knead it particularly finely

   

3. 3 While steaming the potatoes, chop the beef, onions, garlic, and mushrooms into fine pieces, blanch the broccoli and cut into small pieces

   

4. 4 Melt butter in a non-stick pan over low heat, sauté garlic until fragrant, sauté chopped onion until soft, add minced beef and stir well

   

5. 5 Add chopped mushrooms, broccoli, a little salt and pepper and stir-fry evenly

   

6. 6 Add tomato paste and two tablespoons of flour, stir well, then pour in the stock and cook for a while until thickened

   

7. 7 Spread it out in a baking bowl, cover it with a layer of mashed potatoes, and sprinkle some grated cheese

   

8. 8 Place in the middle rack of the oven and heat up and down to 200 degrees for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and colors
