Preparation
Step 1
Bring pot of water to a boil and add potatoes. Cook until tender but firm- about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Mix in butter, finely chopped onion, and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
Step 2
Boil carrots 15 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 3
Heat oil, cook onion until clear. Add meat and cook until browned. Add a splash of steak sauce to this step to add more flavor to the meat. Pour off fat, mix in flour and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup and gravy (or 1 cup beef broth). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Spread beef along bottom of a large casserole dish. Next add a layer of carrots. Top with potatoes and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
