Soothe the Gut Braised Beef with Cauliflower Mash

This is a hearty and comforting dish that's perfect for a winter night. The beef is braised in a flavorful broth until it's fall-off-the-bone tender, and the cauliflower mash is creamy and smooth. It's a delicious and satisfying meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.

Braising is a cooking method that involves browning meat in a skillet and then simmering it in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid. This allows the meat to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. Cauliflower mash is a great alternative to traditional mashed potatoes, and it's just as creamy and delicious. It's also a healthier option, as it's lower in calories and carbohydrates.
