Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef brisket, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Sliced Beef with Mashed Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef brisket with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Pour in the beef broth, cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
4. While the beef is cooking, place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
5. Return the potatoes to the pot and add the heavy cream and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Once the beef is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
7. Serve the sliced beef over a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
• Use a potato masher or ricer for the smoothest mashed potatoes.
• Adjust the seasoning in the mashed potatoes according to your taste.
• If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding roasted garlic or shredded cheese to the mashed potatoes.

Easy Variations

• Swap the brisket for flank steak or sirloin for a different cut of beef.
• Add roasted vegetables, like carrots or Brussels sprouts, for extra flavor and nutrition.
• For a twist, mix in some horseradish or mustard to the beef marinade for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed green beans or broccoli for a fresh crunch.
• A side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
• A simple garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
