Succulent beef and creamy colcannon mash infused with Guinness for a rich, malty flavor in this Irish-inspired cottage pie by Michelle Southan.
Ingredients:
  • 1.3kg gravy beef, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 360g button mushrooms, halved
  • 10 French shallots, peeled, halved
  • 250g speck, cut into batons
  • 440ml can Guinness
  • 250ml (1 cup) beef style liquid stock
  • 90g (1 ⁄3 cup) tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra, to serve
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 100g (1 cup) grated three cheese mix
  • 1kg sebago potatoes, peeled, chopped
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 1/4 (about 500g) savoy cabbage, core removed, finely shredded
  • 4 green shallots, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Brown the beef in batches for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer the browned beef to a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms and shallots until golden, about 5 minutes. Add them to the beef. Then sauté the speck and garlic for 3 minutes.
  • Mix in the beef mixture, then pour in the Guinness, stock, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer, partially covered, for 2 hours or until the beef is tender. Season to taste before serving.
  • For the colcannon mash, boil the potato in water for 15 minutes until tender, then drain and mash until smooth using a potato masher.
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt butter until it starts to foam. Add cabbage and shallot, cook while stirring for 3-4 minutes until tender but not browned. Mix in with potato, season to taste, and enjoy!
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Transfer the beef mixture to a 3L (12 cup) ovenproof dish. Spread a layer of mash on top and rough it up with a fork. Sprinkle the dish with cheese and bake for 30 minutes until golden. Finish by sprinkling with extra thyme before serving.
