  • 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • celtic salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

INGREDIENTS - MASH TOPPING

  • 1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • splash of almond milk

  • 1 tsp ghee

Preparation

Step 1

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. Drain and mash with olive oil, ghee, and a splash of almond milk. Set aside.


Step 2

In a separate saucepan, bring just enough water to a boil to cover the beef later.


Step 3

Season the diced beef with smoked paprika, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.


Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the beef until just browned (about 15 minutes), then transfer it to the boiling water.


Step 5

In the same pan, sauté leek and garlic until soft. Add to the pot with the beef.


Step 6

To the pot, add the Dijon mustard and stir in the entire jar. Add bay leaves. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.


Step 7

Add mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Add more boiling water if needed to prevent drying out.


Step 8

Stir in chopped parsley at the end. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning.


Step 9

Preheat oven to 180°C.


Step 10

Pour the thickened beef filling into a large baking dish.


Step 11

Spoon mashed potatoes over the top and smooth with a spatula. Drizzle with olive oil.


Step 12

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top and bubbling around the edges.


Enjoy 💕
