The bright flavors of green vegetables can balance the rich, buttery sauce of the beef and potatoes, creating a well-rounded meal. You can also serve it with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a comforting touch.

For a delightful twist, consider serving it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives. This adds a refreshing contrast that enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish, making each bite even more enjoyable.
