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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the beef broth, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet along with the cubed potatoes. Stir everything together.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving and enjoy!
