Beef and Gravy Served on Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes or until they are tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown it on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic and stir to form a roux.
Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned beef to the skillet and cook on low heat for 1–1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the gravy has thickened.
Step 4: Serve
Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates.
Top the mashed potatoes with the beef and gravy.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a touch of color and flavor.
