The dish in the image looks like a classic **Pot Roast with Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes**. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this delicious meal:
### **Pot Roast with Vegetables and Gravy**
#### **Ingredients:**
– 1.5 kg beef chuck roast
– 4-5 medium potatoes, halved
– 4 large carrots, cut into large chunks
– 1 large onion, chopped
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 3 cups beef broth
– 2 tablespoons tomato paste
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening the gravy)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 tablespoon dried thyme
– 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
#### **For the Mashed Potatoes:**
– 6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
– 3 tablespoons butter
– ½ cup milk or cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
#### **Instructions:**
1. **Sear the beef:** Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of butter and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. **Sauté the vegetables:** In the same pot, add the remaining butter and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, stirring for another minute.
3. **Cook the roast:** Return the beef to the pot, then add the carrots, halved potatoes, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
4. **Prepare the gravy:** Once the roast is cooked, remove the beef and vegetables. To thicken the gravy, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with a bit of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the broth. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
5. **Make the mashed potatoes:** While the beef is cooking, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, then mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
6. **Serve:** Slice the pot roast and serve it with the vegetables, mashed potatoes, and the rich gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy this hearty meal! Let me know how it turns out!
