Steps:

- Spread lamb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Place potatoes into a large pan of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to pan.
- Mash butter, cayenne pepper, cream cheese, and Irish cheese into the potatoes. Mash until combined and potatoes are smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk together egg yolk and milk in a small bowl; stir into the mashed potato mixture.
- Top the lamb mixture in the baking dish with the mashed potatoes and spread evenly to cover.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Opt for grass-fed ground beef, organic vegetables, and flavorful herbs and spices.
- Brown the beef and vegetables separately: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough. Be sure to drain any excess fat from the beef before adding it to the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the stew: The meat and vegetables should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooking will make the stew mushy.
- Season the stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of Guinness or red wine for extra flavor.
- Serve the stew with a side of mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or your favorite vegetables: This will help to make a complete and satisfying meal.
