Eye-fillet & Pearl Cous Cous Shepherd's Pies

Quantities make two ramekin size pies.

Ingredients

40g piece eye fillet, cooked
1 organic carrot
1/2 zucchini
1/2 potato
1/2 cup uncooked pearl Cous Cous
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp butter
1 tsp flour (as always, I used spelt)
1/2 cup milk

Set a pot of water boiling and add the diced potato and the uncooked pearl Cous Cous. Leave to cook until potato tender, around 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat and then add the flour. Stir until combined and the flour has browned a little. Add the milk and stir continuously until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat while you grate the vegetables and finely dice the cooked steak. Add these to the white sauce and stir. Return to the low heat and allow to thicken and reduce. Add the worcestershire sauce- you don't need much. Strain the potato and Cous Cous. Incorporate half of the Cous Cous into the white sauce mix and mash the rest of the Cous Cous with the potato.

Evenly distribute the steak mix amongst two ramekins and then top with the mashed potato. Bake at 180' for 15 minutes.
