Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended)
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Mix well.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and brown the ground beef for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces. Remove excess fat if needed.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Stir in diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Return the browned ground beef to the skillet, pour in beef broth, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
