Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a large pan. Brown the mince over high heat, then add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the stout, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Season and transfer to a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with the butter and milk until smooth. Season.

  4. 4

    Spoon the mash over the meat mixture and fork the top to create ridges.

  5. 5

    Bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden. Serve with steamed greens.
