Heat up olive oil, add meat, rosemary, thyme, garlic. Shred carrots, onions in there. Add worc.sauce, tomato puree, stir, add red wine and sweat down for a minute or two. Add chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes. 

Scoop your meat mixture into a deep casserole or other oven safe dish and then spoon the mash over the top. Spread the mash over the top of the mix with the bottom of the spoon and then sprinkle a generous portion of Parmesan cheese over the top. Poke the top with a fork several times to give it a peaked look and stick it in the oven at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes to brown the potatoes and set the pie.
