This three-ingredient recipe was a great way to introduce Veronika to the warm flavors of a grown-up beef stew! It was also her first taste of Gardein beefless tips. The results? A big hit!

Ingredients:

• 1 russet potato
• 2 carrots
• 9 Gardein beefless tips

1. Peel and chop the potato and carrots; cover with water and bring to a boil. Continue to cook for 15 minutes, until very tender.
2. Meanwhile, saute the beefless tips for about 8 minutes, until browned. Add to the pot with the potatoes and carrots for the last 10 minutes or so. Remove with a slotted spoon.
3. Finely mince the beef. Mash the potatoes and carrots with a potato masher.

I served these in two little piles on Veronika’s tray, an adorable deconstructed “stew”.
