Shepherd’s Pie
Serves 6 to 8
3 lbs of ground beef
2 TB Vegetable Oil
2 medium onions, minced
Salt
4 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 4 teaspoons)
2 TB tomato paste
1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
¾ cups dry red wine
2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp minced fresh rosemary or ¼ tsp dried
1 1lb bag frozen pea and carrot medley (about 3 cups; do not thaw)
Ground black pepper
3 lbs. russet potatoes (about 6 med potatoes) peeled and sliced ¾ inch thick
1 ½ cup heavy cream, warmed
4 TB (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Brown the hamburger in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Drain the hamburger through a fine-mesh strainer.
Add 2 TB of vegetable oil to the pot and heat over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the onions and 1 tsp salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisk in the broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the drained hamburger, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and rosemary and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in peas and carrots and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture into a 13 by 9 inch casserole dish; set aside.
Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large Dutch oven and cover by 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (a paring knife can be slipped into and out of the center of the potatoes with very little resistance), about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot set over low heat, and mash to a smooth consistency. Stir in the cream, followed by the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
With a large spoon, dollop the mashed potatoes over the hamburger filling. Using a rubber spatula, smooth the potatoes out into an even layer and push to the edges of the baking dish.
Adjust an over rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the dish and place the casserole on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the top is browned, about 20-25 min.
