Ingredients
For the Mince
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or cooking spray for SW version
- 450 ground beef or use lean ground beef for SW version, 1 pound
- 2 onion finely diced or minced, yellow
- 2 carrot diced
- 1 celery finely diced, stalk
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp garlic or minced garlic, paste
- 1 beef stock cube crumbled to a powder, Oxo brand
- 60 ml red wine optional!, 1/4 cup or beer
- 480 ml canned beef broth or beef stock (Knorr Stockpots are a good option, 2 cups
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- flat leaf parsley to garnish
Mashed Potatoes
- 5 Maris Piper potatoes peeled and cubed, large
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a little vegetable oil and brown the mince, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook over high heat for five minutes, until nicely coloured.
- Add the onions, carrots, celery and crumbled Oxo cube and cook, stirring, for five minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and garlic.
- Add the wine or beer (or you can simply use more beef stock) and simmer until most of the liquid is gone.
- Add the beef broth and bring to a rolling simmer. Partially cover the pan, lower the heat and gently simmer for an hour. Give the mince an occasional stir to check on liquid levels.
- Meanwhile boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain, reserving some of the liquid. Mash with the butter adding some of the cooking water or a bit of milk if needed. Taste and season.
- Taste the mince and add salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley or celery leaves.
Notes
- If you want to cook your mince and tatties in a slow cooker you can follow the same recipe, browning the beef and cooking the vegetables then transferring to a slow cooker with only 240ml (1 cup) of beef broth and cooking for 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Since the slow cooker doesn't allow for any evaporation you might need to add a tablespoon of cornflour to thicken the gravy.
- Instant Pot
- To cook in an Instant Pot use the sauté function to brown the beef and cook the vegetables then cook on High Pressure for 30 minutes. Use 180ml (3/4 cup) of total liquid and stir in some cornflour slurry to thicken if needed.
