Sear beef until browned, then simmer it with onion, garlic, broth, and herbs until fork-tender. Thicken the cooking liquid to make a rich gravy. Boil potatoes until soft, mash with butter and milk until creamy. Roast or steam beets, carrots, parsnips, peas, and zucchini until tender and vibrant, seasoning with herbs and olive oil. Serve beef with a ladle of gravy, a scoop of mashed potatoes, and colorful vegetables arranged around the plate.
💡 Notes & Variations
Swap beef for roast chicken or a plant-based meat alternative. Use sweet potatoes for the mash or add horseradish to the gravy for a kick. Make it dairy-free with plant milk and vegan butter.
