Chef's Menu Description

A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.

Ingredients

  • • 500g (1lb) minced beef
  • • 1 large onion
  • • 2 carrots
  • • 2 tbsp butter
  • • 5 tbsp flour
  • • 350-450ml beef stock/gravy *see recipe method for details

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Dice the onion and peel and chop the carrots into circles.

2
Phase 2

Heat a saucepan or pot to a medium heat, melt the butter and add the onions, cooking them until they are soft.

3
Phase 3

Add the mince, using a wooden spoon to break it up so there are no big lumps.

4
Phase 4

Add the flour and stir thoroughly.

5
Phase 5

Add the carrots and stock/gravy. You should have enough to cover the meat. It will reduce through the cooking process but if it does so too quickly you can add a bit more.

6
Phase 6

Turn to a low heat and simmer until the meat and carrots are tender and it has all thickened up. This will be approximately an hour. You can also cover with a lid if the stock is reducing too quickly.

7
Phase 7

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8
Phase 8

Meanwhile, prepare your mashed potatoes as desired (we like lots of butter and seasoning!) and then serve with any other sides like peas or skirlie.
