Peel and dice the onion, garlic, carrots, and potato into small, bite-sized pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots and potato, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mixture and stir to combine.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot in bowls or over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes if desired.
