How to Make Chef Flower's Ambrosial Beef On A Bed Of Adorned Trimmings

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel and boil potatoes until tender. Mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to desired consistency.
  3. Prepare the spinach: Sauté spinach with garlic until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
