Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 600 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, although using lean beef should minimize this step.
Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the broth. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed most of the broth.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your low-fat savory beef and potatoes dish!
