Step 1

Coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray. Brown the stew meat, half at a time, over medium-high. Return all beef to pan. Add broth, 2 cloves of the garlic, and 1/4 tsp. of the salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 1 1/2 hours or until very tender.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a separate medium saucepan combine potatoes and the remaining 1 clove garlic. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Add cauliflower and carrots. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes more or until vegetables are very tender. Drain well.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine vegetable mixture, sour cream, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. of salt and the 1/8 tsp. pepper. Mash mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, remove meat from pan. Shred beef using two forks. If desired, strain beef cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Measure 1 cup liquid; return to pan and discard remaining liquid. In a small bowl, stir together cold water and flour until smooth. Stir into cooking liquid in pan. Cook and stir over medium until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir 1 minute more. Return shredded meat to pan; stir to combine.

Step 5

Serve vegetable mash over toasted bread. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with green onions.
