Main Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation of Meat and Vegetables

  1. 1

    Sear the Chuck Roast

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the roast and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped carrots. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 5 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Roast

    Return the chuck roast to the pot, then pour in the beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for about 2-2.5 hours until the meat is tender.

  4. 4

    Add Peas

    About 10 minutes before the roast is done, add the frozen peas to the pot and stir them through.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes).

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembling and Baking the Shepherd's Pie

  1. 7

    Shred the Meat

    Once the chuck roast is tender, remove it from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot, mixing it with the vegetables and broth.

  2. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. 9

    Layer the Mixture

    In a baking dish, layer the meat and vegetable mixture evenly on the bottom.

  4. 10

    Top with Mashed Potatoes

    Spread the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, smoothing them out with a spatula.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.

  6. 12

    Serve

    Allow cooling slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Shepherd's Pie!
