Mashed potatoes with gravy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To prepare the meat gravy, you'll need meat. It doesn't have to be beef—you can use pork or even chicken. If you want the gravy to be thick, simply thicken it with a small amount of flour. Serve hot.

Step 1
Wash a piece of young beef and dry it with paper towels. Then trim off the membranes and tendons, and cut the meat into small pieces. Heat olive oil in a frying pan, add the meat pieces and fry until browned, stirring occasionally.
