Description
A hearty beef and potato stew that’s perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
- 2–3 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 yellow onion, minced
- 2–3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Optional: dried thyme, oregano, or bay leaf
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes, and mince the onion and garlic.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the lean ground beef, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium, add the diced onion, and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and paprika, and stir to coat the potatoes in the seasonings.
- Pour in the Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth, ensuring there’s enough liquid to almost cover the potatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook.
- Cook Until Tender: Let the dish simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
- Check Seasoning and Serve: Uncover the skillet, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes if you want a thicker sauce, then serve.
