Semua Langkah

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Mash the potatoes with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. 3

   While potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

4. 4

   Add chopped onion and carrots to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

5. 5

   Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of simmering.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7. 7

   Transfer the beef mixture to an oven-safe dish (if not already using one). Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the beef mixture.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potato topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

9. 9

   Let the cottage pie stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
