Method

Step 1 of 3

Set a large pot to medium-high heat adding in the olive oil, season and brown the beef for 5 minutes. Remove the beef placing it onto a plate or bowl, stir the onions into the pot cooking for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery cooking with the onions for 2 minutes before stirring in the minced garlic for 30 seconds. Pour in the red wine, reducing the wine by half before adding in the tomato sauce, beef stock and rosemary.

Step 2 of 3

Add in the beef back to the pot. Simmer the ragu for 45 minutes until the beef is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened.

Step 3 of 3

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Add the ragu to a large casserole dish, spread the mashed potatoes overtop of the ragu, bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown. Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before portioning.
