Mash with a fork or potato masher. 4 Drain the cooked peas, and puree them in a blender until smooth, about 5-7 seconds on medium speed. Pour the peas over the potatoes and stir together with a fork.

In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms and onions until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add the beef back into the skillet. 6 Pour the chicken stock over the beef and vegetables. Simmer over medium heat for another 10-15 minutes; let the chicken stock reduce. Once reduced, add the balsamic vinegar and cornstarch. Reduce heat to low and continue simmering until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes
