Mince and tatties

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan.
2. Add the onion and garlic and fry over a medium-high heat until they’re starting to brown.
3. Next add the beef and brown for approximately 5 minutes; stir to make sure the meat browns from all sides and to break the mince up.
4. Now sprinkle the flour over the meat and cook for a couple of minutes.
5. Then add the Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, diced carrot and celery.
6. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, adding more stock if necessary.
7. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water. When tender, drain in colander.
8. Now heat the milk and the butter in the pan, and when the butter is melted, add the drained potatoes.
9. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher.
10. Optionally, mix in some grated cheese using a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
11. Add salt and pepper to taste to both the mince and the mash.

Serve with peas or another side vegetable.
