GOOD OL’ TIMEY BEEF STEW WITH HORSERADISH MAYO MASH
A classic reserved usually for the weekend that can be made any day of the week thanks to Hormel® Slow Simmered Beef Roast Au Jus doing most of the work. I traditionally add potatoes to this recipe, however, my taste-buds insisted instead upon a good, chunky mash—Horseradish Mayo Mash to be exact—using russet potatoes…skins on, thank you very much.

THE NITTY GRITTY
Microwave beef roast as directed on package; set aside.
Put potatoes in a medium pot, with 2 tsp of salt, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes till tender, but firm (about 15 minutes).
Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan, heat oil at medium high. Add carrots, season with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper; sauté for about 5 – 8 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté for another 2 – 3 minutes. Add gravy packet; stir to coat. Carefully pour in au jus from beef roast; stir till gravy forms.
Roughly shred beef roast tips using two forks; add to pan. Add water and stir; cover and simmer for about 5 – 6 minutes, or till gravy reduces to desired thickness. Add peas and stir; cover and remove from heat.
Drain potatoes. Using the same pot, roughly mash spuds; leaving small bits and chunks. Add mayo, sour cream, horseradish and heavy cream; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve stew over mash and enjoy!
