Tips while you cook

Cover while braising
Keep the pot covered during the braising step to retain moisture and heat.
Add carrots later
Introduce the carrots after the beef is tender.
Wilt spinach briefly
Stir in the spinach just until it wilts to preserve its color and texture.
Plate base first
Place the mashed potato base on the plate before ladling the stew for cleaner serving.
