- Add Peas (Optional): If desired, stir in the frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Prepare Mashed Potatoes: While the stew is simmering, prepare your favorite mashed potatoes.
- Serve: Once the beef is tender and the flavors have melded, serve the stew hot over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.
