Ingredients
Ground Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef
Potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
Onion Mixture:
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other:
- 1 cup beef broth (or water)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the beef: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef, cooking and breaking it up until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add seasonings: Stir in oregano, paprika, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the fragrance of the spices.
- Combine the potatoes: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Add the beef broth (or water) and stir well. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot as a standalone meal or with a side salad.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or carrots.
- For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top before serving for a cheesy twist.
