Melt 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until onion and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to the boil. Add cauliflower, cover and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and pat dry with kitchen roll.
Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
Combine drained cauliflower, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Mash until smooth.
Spread beef mixture evenly in a large baking dish. Cover with mashed cauliflower. Brush beaten egg lightly on top.
