• 份量: 8 servings
• 准备时间: 30 minutes
• 总时间: 1 hour 20 minutes

配料

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 pounds 90/10 ground beef or ground lamb

1½ teaspoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

2 large carrots, peeled and finely diced

1 cup finely chopped fennel, from 1 small bulb

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 cups beef broth

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for serving

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme, plus more for serving

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 cup frozen peas

步骤

Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.

Cook the potatoes

Fill a large pot with salted water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

Mash the potatoes

Using the same pot, combine the butter and milk over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes over the hot butter mixture. (Alternatively, mash the potatoes directly into the liquid, taking care not to overwork them.) Season with the garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Brown the meat

Make the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and season with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and transfer to a plate.

Cook the vegetables

Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the olive oil. Once the oil is glistening, add the onions, carrots, and fennel. Season with remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.

Make the sauce

Stir in the flour and tomato paste and cook, stirring continuously, until the tomato paste has darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef stock, pepper, thyme, and rosemary and bring to a simmer. Add the browned beef and any collected juices and frozen peas and simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Assemble and bake

Transfer the filling to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread out evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, and smooth out into an even layer using the back of a spoon. Bake until the filling is bubbling and potatoes are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Rest and serve

Top with additional pepper and thyme and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
