Cooking steps

1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Boil a pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Once boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Quarter the carrot lengthways, then chop widthways into ½ cm pieces.
  • Pick the thyme leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
  • Finely chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
3
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Fry the mince and onion until browned, stirring occasionally, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Break the beef up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add carrot, tomato paste, garlic and thyme. Fry until fragrant, 1 min. 
  • Add the guinness stock paste, beef stock, peas and 400ml water (Per 2P) Simmer until thickened, 15-20 mins.
4
  • Once the mince is ready, taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it's too dry.
  • Transfer the mince to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
  • Top with a layer of mashed potato. Use the back of a spoon to evenly spread it out.
