Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the diced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Add the green beans, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir everything to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the dish cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Down Home Beef Skillet!
