Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped

Liquids and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup beef stock or water
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon cumin (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (divided)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb of lean ground beef and season with half of the cumin, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart continuously to ensure even cooking. Once browned, transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes. Season with the remaining half of the spices. Pour in 1 cup of beef stock or water, then cover the skillet. Cook the potatoes for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Sauté together until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables and potatoes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine all flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top as a fresh garnish and serve the dish warm for a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the dish light.
  • You can substitute beef stock with water for a milder flavor.
  • Adjust the spice levels based on your taste preference; add more paprika for smokiness or more cumin for earthiness.
  • For a richer flavor, you may add a splash of soy sauce along with Worcestershire sauce.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, cover and cook the potatoes a bit longer until fully tender.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
