  1. Heat up a frying pan with some oil.
  2. Fry garlic till fragrant. 
  3. Add in onions and fry till soft and translucent.
  4. Add in minced beef and fry till cooked.
  5. Add in carrots and celery and fry till cooked. 
  6. Season with salt, pepper and beef stock cube and simmer for another 5 mins.
  7. Ladle all into a baking dish and top up with mashed potatoes.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degs for about 20mins or till golden brown.
