I. Braised Savory Beef
Ingredients: Beef chunks, onion, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, tomato paste, fresh cilantro.
Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.

II. Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients: Boiled potatoes, butter, splash of milk or cream, salt.
Method: Mash potatoes while hot. Mix in butter and milk/cream, whipping until the texture is smooth and velvety.

💡 Pro Tip: Arrange the components side-by-side to maintain the contrast of the warm, rich beef against the cool, crisp salad
