- Tall Trivet
Instant Pot Cottage Pie Ingredients:
- 500 g minced beef
- 1 Kg white potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large leek
- 2 large carrots
- 100 g frozen peas
- 1 Can Tinned Tomatoes
- 200 ml beef stock
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp whole milk
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- 1 Tbsp bouquet garni
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp worcester sauce
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Peel and slice your onion, prep your vegetables and sauté in the instant pot with extra virgin olive oil. Load into the instant pot your minced beef and stir for a couple of minutes until the mince starts to brown.
- Pour in stock, tinned tomatoes and seasonings and stir.
- Cancel the sauté and lower your trivet over the minced beef. Add the steamer basket ready for the potatoes. Peel and dice your potatoes and load onto the steamer basket.
- Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 5 minutes on meat and stew. Allow for 5 minutes natural pressure release before releasing pressure. Once you have released pressure, stir in your frozen peas. They will warm up naturally because of the heat in the instant pot.
- Remove the potatoes and mash with salt, thyme, butter, and milk. Load the meat and potatoes onto dinner plates and enjoy!
Notes
- Leftovers. The point of cottage pie is the use of leftovers. Have a fridge raid and use whatever old root vegetables you have in your fridge. I used a leek, but celery works well too.
- Thick. Is your cottage pie not thick enough? If that is the case, then stir in a little of the mashed potatoes and reduce the stock slightly. You will then have a thick cottage pie filling.
