  4. Stir in the harissa paste, followed by the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the asparagus pieces to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until they're tender but still bright green.
  7. While the beef is cooking, mash the drained potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy.
  8. Spoon the harissa beef and vegetable mixture over the mashed potatoes. Top with diced avocado and garnish with fresh dill.
  9. Serve with lemon wedges and optional Greek yogurt on the side.
