1½ cups beef stock (brewer-friendly)
1¼ cups frozen peas
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tbsp butter
1 cup milk
2 tbsp beef stock (for mash)

Instructions

Heat oil in a skillet. Brown beef with onion, carrot, tomato paste, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add stock, peas, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until stew thickens.
Boil potatoes, mash into butter and milk mixture for creamy texture.
Fill a casserole dish with stew, top with mashed potatoes, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
