80 g coconut oil
2 celery ribs, finely diced
2 carrots, finely diced
1 onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
600 g coarsely minced grass-fed beef

1
Preheat oven to 180°C Heat 2 tbsp fat in a large frying pan or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrots, onion, garlic and cumin and stir occasionally until vegetables soften and begin to brown (5 minutes). Add beef, increase heat to high and stir occasionally until browned (8-12 minutes). Add tomato paste and thyme and cook until paste darkens (1 minute), then add stock and wine, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Meanwhile, cook cauliflower in a saucepan of boiling water until tender (8-10 minutes). Drain in a colander, then process in a food processor until smooth, add remaining fat, blend to combine and season to taste.
3
Spread meat mixture in a shallow ovenproof dish. Top with the cauliflower puree and smooth top. Bake until top is light golden and bubbling (30-40 minutes). Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with a homemade relish and salad.

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.
