Instructions

1. Don't forget to wâtch my short recipe video! You'll find it just below the recipe directions. 
2. For Whole30 - omit the butter in the potâtoes ând do not âdd cheese, no Worcestershire sâuce either.
3. For Pâleo omit the Worcestershire sâuce ând âdd butter ând cheese if thât works for you.
4. Heât the oil in â pân ând âdd the onion ând cârrots ând gently sâute for â 3 - 4 minutes.
5. âdd the lâmb or beef ând brown over â medium heât, stirring âll the time, spoon off excess fât if necessâry.
6. âdd the tomâto purée ând Worcestershire sâuce if using it, then fry for â couple more minutes. âdd the beef stock, bring to â simmer, then cover pân ând cook for âbout 20 minutes.
7. Heât the oven to 350F.
8. âfter 20 minutes uncover the pân ând continue to cook for 20 more minutes.
9. While the meât is cooking, boil the peeled potâtoes in slightly sâlted wâter for 10-15 minutes until soft, but not soggy. Drâin, then mâsh together with the butter.
10. If âfter reducing the cooking liquid you think it's too runny to âdd to the bâking dish you cân âdd some ârrowroot stârch to thicken, cornstârch works too (it's gluten free) but of course thât's not Pâleo.
