Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner dish. And if you’re out of paprika, a touch of cumin or chili powder can add a nice twist to the flavor profile.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano, stirring to combine.
- Mix in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated with the beef and spices. Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed most of the broth.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to high for the last 5 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate and let the potatoes and beef develop a slight crispiness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Remember, patience is key here. Allowing the potatoes to cook thoroughly ensures a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that perfectly complements the savory beef.
