Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1.5 lbs Lean ground beef
  • 5.5 oz Button Mushrooms
  • 2 oz Onions
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Tomato paste
  • ¼ cup Half and half cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley

Mashed potatoes:

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • ½ cup half and half
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes
  • Add them to a pot of water with 1 tbsp of salt. Add enough water to cover the potatoes.
  • Turn the burner on medium-high and cook until fork tender.
  • Next, turn the burner under a large, deep pan to medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Break up the ground beef with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
  • While the beef is cooking slice the mushrooms.
  • Once the beef is cooked remove it from the pan and set it aside in a bowl.
  • Remove the fat from the pan then place the pan back on the burner. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the mushrooms are cooking dice the onion and peel the garlic. If you don’t have a garlic press mince the garlic with a knife. Add the onions to the pan and saute for another 2 minutes and add the garlic.
  • Sautee for a minute, tossing halfway, then add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, cream, salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • When there are just a couple of minutes left on the time for the meat, the potatoes should be done. Poke a bigger piece with a fork and it should go through easily without breaking the potato. Strain the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Then add the cream, butter and teaspoon of salt and either mash with a potato masher or whip with an electric mixer.
  • Once the meat is done, turn off the burner and add the parsley. You can also reserve some for serving.
  • Serve the meat on top of a bed of mashed potatoes with your favourite veg.
