Shepherds Pie (Eurasian Style) image

This is my mom's recipe. It's delicious. A great holiday recipe. She was actually mad at me for posting a famous family recipe. But I think something this good should be enjoyed by everyone. :)

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 1/2 lbs minced beef
1 cup big yellow onion, diced
3/4 cup carrot, diced
1 cup green peas (put in last)
1 beef stock cube
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon cornflour, for thickening

1/4 cup water
1 1/2 lbs potatoes, boiled and peeled
1/4 lb butter
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 egg
1 dash cheese
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • For the beef filling, heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Fry the beef, onion, carrots, beef stock, thyme, tomato paste, pepper and 1/4 water with cornflour until fairly thick but not dry. Put peas in till cooked. Dish into a Pyrex container and keep cool.
  • For the mash potato topping, boil potatoes until cooked. Remove skin and mash with butter, egg, mayonnaise, cream, pepper, salt and seasoning. Mash until creamy (do not blend).
  • Pipe on top of cooked beef and sprinkle with cheese on top and grill for 5 to 10 minutes until top is golden brown. Serve.
  • •The above recipe can serve 5 to 6 persons. For 2 you can just cut the recipe in half and for the mash potatoes, you don't have to be exact--just adjust how thick you want the potato topping to be or if you want more beef than potato.
