Easy & Tasty Mince and Tatties Recipe
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
Dice the onion and peel and chop the carrots into circles.
Heat a saucepan or pot to a medium heat, melt the butter and add the onions, cooking them until they are soft.
Add the mince, using a wooden spoon to break it up so there are no big lumps.
Add the flour and stir thoroughly.
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.
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.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
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.
