That looks like a classic hearty beef stew with carrots and potatoes, served with mashed potatoes. Here’s a straightforward, comfort-food style recipe that matches what’s in the photo.

==== Classic Beef Stew (Serves 4–6) ====

===== Ingredients =====

Stew
* 2½–3 lb beef chuck, cut into large chunks
* 3 tbsp olive oil
* Salt and black pepper
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 tbsp flour
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1 cup water (or more broth)
* 2 tbsp tomato paste
* 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
* 1 tsp dried thyme
* 1 bay leaf
* 4–5 carrots, cut into large chunks
* 3–4 potatoes, peeled and chunked

Optional flavor boosters
* ½ tsp paprika
* ½ tsp rosemary
* Splash of red wine (½ cup, replace some broth)

===== Instructions =====
# Brown the beef Pat beef dry and season well with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches (don’t crowd). Remove and set aside.
# Build the base In the same pot, add onion and cook until softened (3–4 min). Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.
# Deglaze & simmer Add beef broth, water, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, and optional wine. Scrape up browned bits from the bottom. Return beef to pot.
# Slow cook Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook: - Stovetop: 2–2½ hours on low - Oven: 325°F (165°C) for 2½ hours
# Add vegetables Add carrots and potatoes. Simmer uncovered another 30–45 minutes until tender and stew thickens.
# Finish Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

==== Creamy Mashed Potatoes (Side) ====

===== Ingredients =====
* 2 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 4 tbsp butter
* ½ cup milk or cream
* Salt to taste

===== Instructions =====
# Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender.
# Drain, mash with butter and milk.
# Season with salt.

===== Serving Tip =====

Spoon stew into a bowl or plate and add a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on the side (or right in the stew, just like the photo).

If you want, I can also give you:
* Slow cooker version
* Instant Pot version
* Thicker gravy style
* More savory / less tomato version
