Servings: persons

12 lb ground beef
4 medium potatoes (The meat portion should be about three quarters of the depth of the dish. The potato makes up the re)
12 cooking onion
2 medium carrots
frozen peas
1 beef stock cube
water
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 spring onions (scallion)
1 tablespoon butter
salt
ground black pepper
brown sauce (or A1 steak sauce which is similar, but is stronger and sharper)

1
Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil.
2
Slice the carrots and spring onion.
3
Fry the beef and the onions in a little oil.
4
Add the salt, pepper and sauce to taste.
5
(I use a lot of pepper and sauce because I like a strong kick).
6
When the beef is brown add the stock cube and some water (not too much, just enough to keep the meat moist while it's in the oven).
7
Mix the meat with the carrots and peas, then spread evenly in an ovenproof dish about 4 inches deep, filling to about 3/4 of the depth.
8
Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and mix in chopped spring onion.
9
Spread this over the top of the meat.
10
The pie should now be level with the top of the dish.
11
Make pretty patterns with a fork.
12
Put it in the oven on a medium heat until the top is brown (about 30 minutes usually).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
