Chard, Roast Beef, and Chard Stems

Everything in tonight’s meal was prepared from food from my food club. The ingredients include roast beef, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, rainbow chard, potatoes, and butter. The only thing not purchased with my food club was the milk used when mashing the potatoes.
