Shepard's Pie

1 Tbs vegetable oil

1 large onion, peeled and chopped

1 large carrot, peeled and chopped

1 pound ground beef

1 cup beef broth

1 Tbs tomato paste

1 tsp chopped fresh or dry rosemary

1 Tbs chopped flat leaf parsley (Italian parsley)

1 cup frozen English peas

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

6 Tbs unsalted butter

½ cup milk

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high; add the oil, carrot, and meat.  Cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.  Drain the fat and add the broth, tomato paste, and herbs.  Simmer until the juices thicken, about 10 minutes, then add the peas.

Pour into a 1 ½ quart baking dish; set aside.

Cook potatoes until tender and drain.  Mash potatoes with butter, milk, and salt.  Spread over the meat mixture and bake until golden brown approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
