This is comfort food. It's not fancy. You likely won't serve it to guests. And I think you could probably make it with less fat, but it is lovely just the way it is on a cold, rainy night. I make it with vegetarian mince for my daughter. Everyone loves it.
Mince & Tatties
1 tbsp canola oil
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 c finely chopped onions
1/4 c flour
3 c beef stock
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 c diced carrots
1 c frozen peas
salt and pepper
4 c mashed or whipped potatoes
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink (about 5 mins).
Add butter and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until browned (about 10 mins). Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until well incorporated (about 2 mins). Gradually stir in stock and worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened slightly (about 20 mins).
Add carrots and cook until tender (about 10 mins).
Stir in peas and cook until heated through (about 2 mins). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve spooned over hot mashed potatoes.
