• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak and Guinness Stew:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the stewing beef chunks and brown them on all sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

2. Prepare the Irish White Cheddar Cauliflower Mash:

• While the stew is simmering, steam the cauliflower florets until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
• Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
• Add the butter, Irish white cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the cauliflower.
• Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Serve:

• Once the stew is ready, remove the bay leaves.
