Kettle Beef & Mashed Potatoes

Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

Comfort food gets a good-to-gourmet upgrade with spoon-tender beef, a deeply savory gravy, and a splash of bourbon-kissed balsamic brightness. It is exactly the kind of slow supper that makes the house smell like someone has been cooking something special all day.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

3 pounds chuck roast or round steak, cut into large pieces
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Original Gourmet Garlic
1 teaspoon Ellbee's Chili Lime Gourmet Garlic
2 tablespoons Ellbee's Bourbon Balsamic Vinegar
1.5 cups beef broth
1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
6 cups hot prepared mashed potatoes, for serving

Method

Place the beef and onion in a slow cooker. Whisk the Original Garlic, Chili Lime Garlic, Bourbon Balsamic, broth, and tomato paste until smooth, then pour over the beef.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, until the beef pulls apart easily with a fork.
Transfer the beef to a platter and cover loosely. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the cooker, cover, and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes until the gravy is glossy and thickened.
Spoon the kettle beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, then finish with a few peas or roasted carrots for a full comfort-food plate.

Kitchen tip: The beef and gravy are even better the next day. Tuck leftovers into a toasted roll with a little sharp cheddar for an unforgettable lunch.
