How to make it
1
Adjust rack to top position and heat broiler to high. Wash and dry produce.
Peel and dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and dice carrot into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings) until combined. Set aside.
2
Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
Reserve ⅓ cup potato cooking liquid (⅔ cup for 4 servings), then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.
3
While potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably ovenproof, pan (large, preferably ovenproof, pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add carrot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in garlic-ginger scallion paste; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Add scallion whites and beef* to pan with carrot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Add tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Stir in peas, curry paste, stock concentrate, cornstarch mixture, and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil; cook until mixture is very thick, 1-2 minutes.
Turn off heat; taste and season with salt and pepper. (If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer mixture to a baking dish now.)
5
Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko until combined.
Top beef filling with an even layer of mashed potatoes, leaving a gap around edge of pan. Top with panko mixture, lightly pressing into potatoes to adhere.
Broil on top rack until panko is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
6
Drizzle shepherd’s pie with katsu sauce. Garnish with scallion greens; serve family style directly from pan.
