  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, return to pot, and cook for 3 minutes over low heat to dry. Mash with yogurt, butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk cornstarch into stock and set aside. In oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef for 7 minutes. Add carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook for 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and thyme, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add stock mixture, peas, Worcestershire sauce, ¾ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir and simmer for 3 minutes until thickened. Spread sweet potato mash evenly on top.
  • Bake until lightly browned and heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives (optional) and serve.
