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 dash pepper
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.

This shepherd's pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a more flavorful cheese in the mashed potato topping. Otherwise, the dish was well-made and hearty.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this shepherd's pie with lentils instead of meat. It was still delicious! The lentils added a nice heartiness to the dish, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.

This shepherd's pie was a great way to use up leftover lamb. I loved the combination of flavors, and the mashed potato topping was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm a big fan of shepherd's pie, but this Eurasian version was a bit too different for my taste. The spices were a bit overpowering, and I found the filling to be a bit dry. I think I'll stick to my traditional recipe next time.

This shepherd's pie was a bit more work than I expected, but it was totally worth it! The end result was a delicious and impressive dish that my guests loved. The only thing I would change is to use a smaller baking dish, as the filling was a bit too

Excellent recipe! I'm not a huge fan of traditional shepherd's pie, but this Eurasian version is a game-changer. The addition of the spices and herbs really elevates the dish, and the creamy sauce is to die for. I served it with a side of roasted veg

I made my shepherd's pie a day ahead as instructed, and the flavors were even better the next day! I loved the combination of ground beef, lamb, and pork, and the vegetables added a nice sweetness and crunch. The mashed potato topping was the perfect
