Directions

Prep 20 minCook 60 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack in the middle.

  2. 2

    Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and carrots, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the tomato paste.

  3. 3

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-10 minutes. Add the thyme and beef stock, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to reduce, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water. Add this mixture to the beef and cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in the peas and adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.

  5. 5

    Transfer the beef mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with overlapping slices of potato. Melt the remaining butter and drizzle it over the potatoes.

  6. 6

    Bake until the potatoes are browned around the edges, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
