Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the beef broth, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet along with the cubed potatoes. Stir everything together.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving and enjoy!
