🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

3 cups leftover prime rib, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mashed Potato Topping

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2Place the cubed potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
3Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4While the potatoes cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
6Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to coat evenly.
8Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, then add the diced prime rib, frozen peas, and dried thyme.
9Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
10Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
12Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy.
13Stir in the grated cheddar cheese if using, and season with salt and pepper.
14Transfer the prime rib filling to a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
15Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling and spread them gently to cover the meat mixture completely.
16Use a fork to create decorative peaks on the potato topping for a golden finish.
17Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the potato topping is lightly golden.
18Let the shepherd’s pie rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
