Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 rib celery, sliced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup canned low sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cups Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, optional
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled quartered
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
3/4 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, garlic, half the salt, and oregano. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until mushrooms are soft and tomato paste has turned brick red, about 8 minutes more. Stir in the beef, the broth, the remaining salt, the Worcestershire, and some pepper, breaking up any large clumps of meat, cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the meat and vegetables to a 2-quart oval casserole dish and spread the mashed potatoes over the top, leaving a 1/4-inch boarder around the edge. Make a decorative pattern on the top of the potatoes, if desired. Sprinkle with cheese, if using, and dot with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Bake until potatoes brown and the juices bubble around the edge, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan with cold water to cover by about 1-inch and add the salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. At the same time, combine the milk and butter in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan. Toss the potatoes over medium heat until dry. Add the heated milk mixture and mash the potatoes until just slightly chunky, then stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SIRLOIN SHEPHERD'S PIE RECIPE



Sirloin Shepherd's Pie Recipe image

Provided by jkenb

Number Of Ingredients 19

Beef
2-1/2 2-½ pounds boneless beef sirloin tip roast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/3 cup flour, divided
1 1/2 1 ½ teaspoons salt
1/2 ½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 14 ounce can beef broth
Potatoes
1/4 ¼ cup unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 pounds russet potatoes (4 large) peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 ¼ cup cream
1/4 ¼ teaspoon salt
1/4 ¼ teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese

Steps:

  • Toss beef in large bowl with all but 2 tablespoons of the flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in large pot over medium high heat until hot. Cook beef in batches 6 minutes or until browned on all sided. Remove beef. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 cup onion, garlic and 2 teaspoons thyme; cook 4 minutes or until onion begins to soften. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons flour; whisk 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in broth; bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pot. When sauce has thickened, return beef to pot. Reduce heat to medium low; cover and simmer 45 minutes or until beef is tender. (Keep liquid at a simmer, not a boil, to keep beef tender. Bubbles should just break the surface). Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium low heat. Cook 1 cup onion and ½ teaspoon thyme 20 minutes or until onion begins to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally and being careful not to burn. Boil potatoes until smooth. Add onions, slowly pour in cream; stir until fluffy. (Potatoes should be stiff and hold their shape because they need to stay on top of the stew) Add more or reduce cream if necessary. Stir in ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spoon beef mixture into 13X9 inch baking dish or 2 8 inch square pans for two meals. Carefully spoon potatoes over beef mixture (do not press down) Sprinkle with cheese. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes or until beef mixture is bubbling and cheese begins to turn golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Or divide the beef mixture into 6-ounce ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use quality ground beef: Opt for a blend of chuck and sirloin for a flavorful and juicy filling.
  • Brown the beef well: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the beef in batches if necessary. This will help develop flavor and prevent the meat from steaming.
  • Season the beef generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic shepherd's pie flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables for a hearty and nutritious filling. Carrots, peas, and corn are classic choices, but you can also add bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • Make a flavorful gravy: Use the beef drippings to make a rich and flavorful gravy. Add some Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth for extra depth of flavor.
  • Use mashed potatoes that are creamy and fluffy: Use a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes for the creamiest and fluffiest mashed potatoes. Be sure to mash them until smooth, with no lumps.
  • Bake the shepherd's pie until golden brown: Bake the shepherd's pie in a preheated oven until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:
