Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a separate pot of salted boiling water until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the milk, butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Serve the Somerset stew with a generous spoonful of cheddar and parsley mashed potatoes on top.
