I found this on a blog on the internet site I can do that. This is a recipe that author Oggi adapted from Gordon Ramsay's show Kitchen Nightmares where he tried to save the restaurant. This recipe ended up being the signature dish of the restaurant. Ingredients:
2 lbs extra lean ground beef (or lamb) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large onion, grated |
1 large carrot, grated |
3 garlic cloves, finely minced |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary |
1 cup red wine |
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered |
water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup heavy cream or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream |
2 tablespoons butter |
salt |
1 cup chicken broth |
2 teaspoons salt (to taste) |
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated-for mashed potato topping) |
Directions:
1. Prepare the mashed potatoes:.
2. Place potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover, add salt, cook for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and mash (I prefer using a ricer). Warm the cream and butter then add to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt, then beat with a wooden spoon or hand beater for 1 minute until fluffy. Do not overbeat or it might turn gummy.
3. Prepare the filling:.
4. Add 2 T grated Parmesan cheese. Cover, set aside, keep warm while preparing beef.
5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, stir fry beef until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Add onion, garlic, and carrot and stir fry for 3 minutes.
6. Add worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme and rosemary, cook for 1 minute. Add wine and simmer until wine has almost evaporated. Add the broth and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Transfer beef to a deep dish.
8. Spoon mashed potato on top of beef. Sprinkle with 1 T grated Parmesan cheese. Fluff with a fork to create peaks.
9. Bake in a 400° F oven for 20 minutes or broil until top is brown.
