Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 large potatoes (diced)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1 bell pepper (diced)
Seasonings and Spices:
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm a robust skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling surface for golden-crisp potatoes. Distribute potato cubes evenly, allowing them to transform into crunchy, caramelized morsels for 10-12 minutes. Gently rotate pieces to ensure uniform browning. Transfer potatoes to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, crumble ground beef, breaking it into small fragments. Sauté until rich brown color develops and meat loses its raw appearance. Carefully drain accumulated fat to prevent greasy texture.
- Introduce diced onions, vibrant bell peppers, and minced garlic into the beef landscape. Sauté for approximately 4-5 minutes, allowing vegetables to soften and release aromatic flavors.
- Enhance the skillet’s profile by incorporating Worcestershire sauce, smoky paprika, precise salt measurements, and freshly cracked black pepper. Reintroduce crispy potatoes, gently folding ingredients to create a harmonious culinary composition.
- Allow mixture to meld and warm through for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring optimal temperature and flavor integration. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the surface for a bright, herbaceous finish. Serve immediately while temperature and texture remain optimal.
Notes
- Potato Perfection: Par-boil potatoes briefly before skillet cooking to ensure crispy exterior and creamy interior without burning.
- Lean Meat Swap: Choose ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lower-fat, lighter version of this hearty dish.
- Spice It Up: Experiment with smoked paprika or add red pepper flakes for extra depth and heat that elevates the flavor profile.
- One-Pan Wonder: Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and better caramelization of ingredients, creating more robust taste and texture.
