Prepare the Filling:

  • Pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 15 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

Prepare the Potato Topping:

  • In a large pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Add butter and milk to the potatoes, mashing until smooth. Stir in the beaten egg for extra richness and creaminess.

Assemble and Bake:

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Spread the beef mixture into a baking dish. Layer the potato mash evenly over the beef. Use a fork to create decorative ridges on the surface.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Allow pie to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For an extra depth of flavor, sprinkle grated mature cheddar over the potatoes before baking.
