Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C Fan) / Gas Mark 5.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook gently for 8–10 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the beef mince and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the tomato purée before adding the red wine, allowing it to reduce by half.
Pour in the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and thyme.
Simmer gently for 25–30 minutes until rich and thickened.
Stir through the peas and season to taste.
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until tender.
Drain well and allow the potatoes to steam dry.
Mash until smooth before adding the Darley Salted Butter and warm milk.
Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the beef filling into a large ovenproof dish.
Top evenly with the buttery mashed potato.
Use a fork to create ridges across the surface.
Scatter over the grated Long Clawson Rutland Red Cheese and dot with a few extra pieces of Darley Salted Butter.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
For an extra crispy finish, place under the grill for the final 2–3 minutes.
