Gordon Ramsay - Shepherd's Pie

[laxmd43]

Excellent recipe. The mash has an absolutely lovely flavor.

[emennocchi]

How something that simple can be so good?

[othyization]

Aaaaagh the editor's got tourettes, or is hyperactive!

[riku1neo]

Is there a certain kind of potato? His looked yellow when cooked.

[mattmoreira252]

Ty for the good recipe. I'm going to make this and I bet its going to be delightful!

[MintedCoin]

he makes it so dramatic lol

[kris2flip]

if you watch kitchen nightmares, he always orders this.

[11ari11]

Looks like shit

[ADHDeeJay]

Anywhere to see this recipe in writing?

[emennocchi]

@ADHDeeJay Can I give you an advice? Stop following written recipes. All you need you had seen in this video. There's no secret at all! :)

[toudal89]

I tried making this tonight and it was absolutely delicious, I used ground beef instead since i'm not a huge fan of lamb.

It was my first time making a sheperds pie and i'm a mediocre cook on a good day, this was very easy to make and only took 45 mins.

[pacholito24]

@toudal89 can u tell me please how do u drain the fat?

[toudal89]

@pacholito24 I just made a small opening with the lid for the pot I used to make it and then poured out the liquid. You can also use a calinder.

[pacholito24]

@toudal89 and then u add onion,carrots and all the other stuff?thanks btw :)

[toudal89]

@pacholito24 yeah^^ drain the liquid before you add the veg. and no problem:D

[pacholito24]

@toudal89 tried it yesterday,i like it.but i had no w.sauce,does it give a different taste?

and i used some other hard cheese,dont like parmezan :)

[toudal89]

@pacholito24 while i was making it the mince was absolutely gorgeous after i added the worchestershire sauce. so i'm sure it makes a difference^^

[pacholito24]

@toudal89 LOL i couldnt find worchestershire sauce(cant even pronounce it :D),we dont have it coatian stores anywhere!

it was greatthough ,first time making it btw :) have to find that sauce to try it!

[28musky]

i may make a twat of myself now but whats the reason for the egg yokes in the mash? ive never seen that done before

[retrotw]

@28musky i think it binds it better, and along with the cheese it adds just a bit of flavour and colour to the topping...

[Vercippu]

it's too quick i can hardly follow

[gaminkalv]

that looks amazing but way too hard to make.

[kuletheman]

he must be the fastest chef alive

[CombedPanther]

Looks delicious

[rfimbel]

@Izumi1234. Thanks. I made this last night and just finished eating the left over this evening. I couldn't find a grater so I just chopped everything as fine as I could. I came out pretty good -- need to make a few tweaks next time.

[tvbqcdn]

why don't you edit the video faster than this? i can distinguish yet some image...

[rfimbel]

Is there a benefit to grating the carrot and onion as opposed to chopping them finely?

[Izumi1234]

@rfimbel yes the reason for this is because you want the ingredients to be as fine as possible aside from blending them. Doing this they mostly disintegrate during cooking giving a wonderful blast of flavor :)

[rfimbel]

Is there a benefit to grating the carrot and onion as opposed to chopping them finely?

[bigbubba8888]

where can i get this recipe at



[HappyHiidee]

Idk if I missed it in the video but the only thing I am missing is what Temperature I should put my oven to! Anyone know? C:

[Lanakikuta]

Can you use another type of cheese inestead of parmesan?

[thardtable]

@Lanakikuta he uses parm because it's a "hard" cheese that grates well, holds it's shape and flavour and performs the way he wants when heated. Cheddar, or a cheese with high "meltability" would spread and get greasy. Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, Romano, Asiago are all possible. Also, notice that his mash substitutes the milk for egg yolk. That way, he can fork his potato into stiff crunchy peaks that will brown in the oven.

[Lanakikuta]

@thardtable thanks a lot for the advice :D

[mikenike504]

His mince looks great. Lord knows how many bad shepherd's pie I've had just because the damn meat was dry and flavorless.

[thardtable]

@mikenike504 notice that he is also using double concentrated tomato paste from a tube.

[lulaenparis]

mince is almost like shredded

[ryudooo]

i'v just done it, and let me tell you, the taste is unbelievable! super tasty!

Thank you Chef!

Thank you DigitalLove323!

[brattette]

Can you use ground pork? And also, am I the only one who finds him attractive? Haha..he's not bad!

[octopuspick]

I hate butter, do I have to use it on the potato?

[coopiero1]

@octopuspick not neccisarily you add milk also you could spit in it instead or perhaps ejeculate on the potatos instead

[octopuspick]

@coopiero1 Thanks, But I save my load for your Mum = ) She calls me Peter North

[coopiero1]

@octopuspick well just spit in it instead then, or milk your grand dads withering fallice into the potato's

[octopuspick]

@coopiero1 Nice comeback there JK.......you sad cunt.

[coopiero1]

@octopuspick now now theres no need to be like that.how can i make it up to u?il let ur mother use my tongue as a sanitary towell if u like?

[octopuspick]

@coopiero1 Another great comeback, you really are a sad fuck ; ) Now go back & watch your wrestling

[lekmann]

@octopuspick YES. why do you hate butter? it addes great flavor to it.

[octopuspick]

@lekmann Just hate the taste always have, tnx

[cha0tic]

What can you substitute for the red wine?

[lekmann]

@cha0tic just dont use it... use a little bit more stock

[Kboiiiiii]

where can I get the potato ricer hes using?

[basicwebmember]

AND NO Hes got it all wrong search other web pages

[basicwebmember]

lol he said it's a British classic NO it's IRISH can they just try to make every thing BRITISH 

[coopiero1]

@basicwebmember no1 cares about ireland though just a bunch of potato chasing alcaholics

[googlyarsetube]

@basicwebmember Sorry, Dennis Leary is and always has been full of shit. My mother is Irish and I'd be willing to let the French claim Shepherd's Pie (hachis parmentier) before the plastic paddy's of USA.

[joeratti]

shepards pie...done. massive post shit....processing.

[CalDodger]

Can you use ground beef instead of lamb?

[DigitalLove323]

@CalDodger yes you can use ground beef but remember to drain the fat or it will end up very greasy 

[KHooooi]

@DigitalLove323 how do i drain the fat ??

[DigitalLove323]

@KHooooi usually what i do is when draining the fat, use a pot lid to cover the pan, then tilt and drain

[elendiel]

@DigitalLove323 Or you can use lean beef, but since that is usually pretty expensive, you would save that for a good steak.

[atrinka1]

@KHooooi use a pasta colander.

[Paulpunkrocks]

@KHooooi You could also wait until the beefs browned, push it to all sides of the pot/pan leaving a well in the middle... the fat/grease should collect in the middle and you could use a pair of tongs and paper towels to wipe it away

[controversiaster]

@CalDodger If you use beef, it's cottage pie then, not shepherd's!!!

[neptun123]

@CalDodger

yes, but then it will be cottage, not shepard pie;)

[bulok69]

@CalDodger If you use beef then that's no longer a shepherd's pie, it's a cottage pie :P

[MagmaMorph]

@CalDodger If you use beef instead of lamb it will not be a Sheperds pie =D It will be a Cottage pie!

[retrotw]

@CalDodger yes...but then u cant call it a shepherds pie...it becomes cottage pie once you replace it with beef...

[thebuckrogers22]

@CalDodger i was going to use beef but my mom who is older cant really eat beef, so i am going to try ground chicken or turkey instead tonight

[usagi18]

@thebuckrogers22 ... sounds yummier, actually heheh

[0000000Lara]

You can totally do it with turkey. I would add a little tomato paste for color and to enhance the taste. Since we are already changing the original recipe ;}

[durriken]

@CalDodger - Shepherd's Pie is with Lamb, if you want to use Beef it's called Cottage Pie.

[Barkspawn]

@CalDodger

Yep but then it's a cottage pie not a shepherd's pie :D

[pel666]

Egg Yoke...just like you should do with Pommes Duchiene...makes it nice and fluffy and browns nicely. For my puree I use Dairy butter, splash of fat milk and Parmezan cheese.

[CultOfMetal]

Im not a huge shepherds pie fan, but that looked goddamn great.

[CainmosniMirrored]

This looks nasty. Eggs? WTF?

[SurvivorPoison]

If there is red wine used, then is there alcohol in the final product?

[GloomFate]

@SurvivorPoison normally wine used in cooking is old/expired (don't throw away old wine). Its not going to get any one drunk as the alcohol and sulfates evaporates in the heat only leaving the rich flavour

[FindyourFeminine]

@SurvivorPoison No, the alcohol cooks away.

[95ellington]

Im eating this now....so good...

Except I used beef and had no pamasae cheese.

I had to chop the carrot onion by hand, that part sucked too.

[MrBasterKeaton]

@95ellington i hope u enjoyed it.

i love this recipe

[FindyourFeminine]

@95ellington I just learned that if you use beef its called cottage pie. Shepherds pie is only lamb. Interesting! lol

[moewishaw]

what does he say at 0.12, "put a little something on the mince" to make it less fatty?

[goingy]

@moewishaw "put a little colour on the mince and it gets rid of that unwanted fat"

[intriguedgorilla]

im making this week but substituting beef instead of lamb, and tomato paste instead of puree (I couldn't find any puree)... anybody try it with the beef instead of lamb?

[skandaa]

@intriguedgorilla im doing that 2night

[FindyourFeminine]

@intriguedgorilla You can use beef but then it is called Cottage Pie.

[fo13ulous]

i wanna make this but i dont have hoison sauce or w.e that is,

red wine and tomato puree

theres too many ingredients for an "easy recipe"

=(

[kushybubble420]

@fo13ulous --Worcestershire sauce

[MrGlennJohnsen]

Minces is just a coarser grind of "ground" meat.

[HEYMONDAYYY]

Gordon Ramsey's such a perfectionist.

[vinsonyuk]

What did he say to do to the mince to get rid of the unwanted fat? I've listened 10 times and still can't hear it...

[quickflash02]

@vinsonyuk i think he said ' a little bit of color on it' that means to cook it well? im not too sure either.

[TheRanblingjohnny]

Steak, blé d'Inde, patates! lolll

[MissPonderosa]

too fast!!

[LaileB22]

WOW SO FAST.

[chazmate]

fake

[vandydan]

How many does the recipe feed?

[Thetrollmaster2000]

@vandydan 50

[aplayaz2000]

180C isn't working out for me, taking too long to cook

[Icewolfx6]

What the hell? Oh man, i cant even write english but, I know that England is IN Britain. So if he says it its a British dish its ok. It's like if you say that paella is not Spanish, it's from Andalucia (¬¬ Idiot it is IN spain, like England is IN Britain LOL) He did the dish that quickly because it is not a recipe, it is the opening of a program. Even doing it as quickly as he did it's easy enough to understand. I do.

[westbromrich]

"Little bit of ... on the mince and it gets rid of that unwanted fat."

Anyone have any idea what he says?

[scottyelf]

@westbromrich Little bit of color on the mince.

[11moii]

@westbromrich Color... :)

[mental177]

@westbromrich I was thinking the same thing

[Akasha911]

@westbromrich I think he's saying to put a cover on the mince so you can drain off the fat.

[manu444able]

@Akasha911

colur/color...not cover. Cook the mince until it starts to get some colour on it. The fat will come out of the mince as it cooks. Drain off the fat and continue.

[vinsonyuk]

@Akasha911 Put a cover on? What does that mean? ... Thanks

[Akasha911]

@vinsonyuk Sorry I also misheard. "Put some color on the mince..." I guess browning the meat, allows you to pour off the fat....I think...

[ANIMEGIRL385]

wooooowww looks really yummy. The music is awesome btw :DDD

[rpang10]

fucking DONE!

[elaj84]

He cooks and talks so very fast but it looks delicious...

[jacob7207]

This video is funny. The music in the soundtrack is what makes it so funny.  I imagine girls pole dancing and perverts gawking over them with a bottle of whiskey, then it's like oh, shepherd's pie.

[11moii]

What is mince?? Sorry, but im not from a english talking country... :)

[DigitalLove323]

@11moii

mince is basically to cut into very small pieces. this term means the smallest possible pieces; smaller than dice or chop, but not pureed.

[daweilei]

@DigitalLove323

he means what kind of meat stupid

[BarnesSean]

@DigitalLove323 Mince is what people from the UK call ground.

[GloomFate]

@BarnesSean All country's in the common wealth call it mince.

[Falstaff85]

meat that has been 'ground' almost into a paste...like hamburger.

[RedArtic]

the meat.

[taintofshadow]

@11moii

easy: in america, we would call it "ground." Personally, I use beef, it's just a lot easier to find.

[Glumlock]

@taintofshadow Yeah, minced steak is easier to get than minced lamb... but classically it was used with minced lamb, hence SHEPHERD'S pie

[socketface0]

@11moii when he says mince, he means mince lamb. traditionally, the dish is made with minced lamb. if you want, you can substitute the lamb with ground beef. personally, i love making it with ground bison. lots more flavor than beef, and so much better for you!

[11moii]

@socketface0 Too late. I've gone ovo-vegetarian now... :P

[trumpetsoul]

@11moii köttfärs, buddy

[michaelnrdx]

@11moii Mince in this context means meat finely chopped.

[Tobiasoman]

@11moii

Wenn du aus einem Deutschsprachigen Land kommst ist es "Gehacktes"

[11moii]

@Tobiasoman Nein, es ist nicht ich... :D

[danashee]

@11moii  Chef Ramsay is referring to the meat that he's using, minced lamb. If you speak Spanish, the closest translation is "carne molida"... you can use lamb, but I prefer beef. =) Wow, I'm a year late with my comment, I hope your dish went well

[Daederik]

Going to make to make it this weekend. Fingers crossed!

[klank67]

I had to watch this 5x ... but guess what I'm havin'... ;)

[GrimeDaiIy]

@klank67 xoxk?

[weepaul666]

These vids are a bit rushed

[GlockAnimal]

British my ass thats an IRISH DISH!!!!!!

[kidinfected]

WRONG.

It is an ENGLISH dish. Google it and you will realize you are completely incorrect and delusional. Get your shit together sir.

[ace666999]

it is an irish dish !

[kebl0826]

I'll be trying this later on. Previously I've used a Gary Rhodes receipe which includes tomato ketchup and celery, but no garlic or Parmesan. However, it takes a few hours to make. This one seems a lot quicker thanks to the grating of the onions and carrots to release the flavour. I've made some Marco Pierre White receipes and these are really good. Take a look at his videos on the Knorr stock cube website

[kebl0826]

You should also drain 95% the fat off the meat once it's browned (using a sieve). This is omitted from the video

[tenminutesgone]

I watched the video for about half an hour repeatedly to try and soak it up, then referred back to bits I wasn't sure on. Re. ingredients, I had to deviate a bit as I only had ground beef at home, Farmhouse Cheddar, and Lemon thyme, so substituted these, adding some regular mixed herbs also. A kinda Cottage Pie with a herb twist..but it all worked really well. The mash is something else and the mince really punchy. Definitely going to do again

[9aspengold5]

looks good,but my eyes are spinning with the speed of the video

[extractingTHEmichael]

Made this today, it was the best I've ever had!

[Mirrorkissers]

what does he say at 00.13 about the mince?

[Lemit]

Put a little colour on it. =]

[FreshDebonair]

im just gonna buy a frozen shperds pie lol.

[Majortom71]

I wonder why he does not fry the onion and garlic before adding in the meat?

[deathblad13]

well if im not mistaken, the reason is, if he adds it to the pan grated before the meat, doesnt flavor the meat as well, i think if he had chopped them instead of grated, he would have put them in first

[ShadowMaster2112]

dont question the master

[one00proof]

the veggies would soak up all the grease from the mince, thus when u serve it, the vegetables are greasy making the whole pie greasy (least thats my understanding).

[thunderstruck665]

Gordon Ramsay rules! I'm gonna have to go to Finn McCools one of these days since they follow his Shepherds Pie recipie.

[LDKBBAB]

Has anyone ever Audio Previewed their comments before posting....sounds like youtube hired Stephen Hawking to do the voice.

[Libitina72]

hahaha!!! I know ..pretty funny

[LDKBBAB]

Is that how Brits 500 years ago use to make this "classic sheppards pie"?
