Cooking Instructions

50 mins
  1. 1

    Cut unpeeled garlic head in half. Cover with vegetable or olive oil, and a small pinch of salt. Roast uncovered at 350° for approximately 25 minutes or until garlic is caramelized and soft.

  2. 2

    Place beef in a large, cold sauce pot. Season with dried spices and salt. Crank up the heat. Cook until well browned. Drain fat.

  3. 3

    Add veggies and sweat over medium low heat for approximately 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add rum. Deglaze the pan. When rum is nearly evaporated, add stock and beef back to the pot. Cook until liquid has nearly evaporated.

  5. 5

    Cover whole potatoes with cold, salted water. Potato skin may be peeled or left on. Pictured with skins. Cook until fork tender. Drain. Return to pot for a half of a minute on high heat to remove excess moisture. (Professional Mashed Potatoes Tip)
