Roast Beef with Creamy Mashed Potatoes

3️⃣ Finishing Touches

12. Remove the beef from the pot. Optionally, strain the cooking liquid for a smooth sauce, or blend it with a stick blender for a thicker, rustic finish.
13. Simmer the sauce briefly to reduce and concentrate the flavor if needed.
14. Slice or shred the roast beef, and serve with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes and a ladle of the sauce over the top.
15. Garnish with fresh thyme, parsley, or a sprinkle of black pepper for a final aromatic touch.

💡 Tips

• Use a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet or Merlot for the deepest flavor.
• Don’t rush the browning step — it adds layers of flavor to the stew base.
• Leftovers taste even better the next day — store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for future meals.

This classic dish is rich, satisfying, and packed with savory flavor — a true comfort meal made for slow Sundays and shared gatherings. 🍷🥔🥕
