Ingredients
Main Ingredients
500 g ground beef (minced beef) - organic, grass-fed if possible.
1 cup carrots - peeled and diced
1 cup peas - fresh or frozen
1 medium onion - finely chopped
3 cloves garlic - minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups beef stock (beef broth or beef bouillon) - low-sodium
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
salt to taste salt
pepper to taste ground black pepper - freshly ground
Cobbler Topping
1.5 cups all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK) - sifted
1 tbsp baking powder- ½ tsp salt
½ cup butter - unsalted, cold, cubed
⅔ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the minced beef until cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce the diced carrots to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the beef, peas, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the cobbler topping. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
- Spoon the beef mixture into a baking dish, then drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the top, leaving some gaps to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and has risen slightly.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For an added twist, incorporate freshly chopped herbs like thyme or rosemary into the cobbler mix for a fragrant, earthy aroma.
