Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place the half-and-half and butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the half and half, butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolk until well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
- Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- heat oil and cook steak in large saucepan for ten min on medium heat stirring occasionally.
- The goal is to cook the meat slowly to seal in the flavor.
- In a separate saucepan cube all potatoes, cover with water and boil until soft - usually 15 to 20 min if you cube small enough.
- Add all onions, carrots and scallions to the steak and saute about 5-10 minute.
- Add Herbs, corn to the meat/veg mixture and saute another 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup wine and saute on med low heat 10-15 minute.
- Meanwhile drain the potatoes, mash (by hand - it tastes better) and add butter and milk to soften.
- Set aside.
- Pour Meat mixture into a casserole dish, add mashed potatoes on top and cover the entire thing with cheese.
- Cook at 350F for 30 minutes or until potatoes look crispy.
- Enjoy.
Tips:
- Use a good quality ground lamb for the best flavor. If you can't find ground lamb, you can substitute ground beef or pork.
- Don't overcook the meat. Cook it just until it is browned and no longer pink.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your shepherd's pie. Some good options include carrots, peas, corn, and green beans.
- Season the filling well with salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add a bit of Worcestershire sauce or gravy mix for extra flavor.
- Use a creamy mashed potato topping for the best results. You can make your own mashed potatoes or use instant mashed potatoes.
- Top the shepherd's pie with grated cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
- Let the shepherd's pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
